TapeAlertHi All,

I am really confused here. According the Admin Guide, as Mark points out =
in his email, we can get TapeAlert and Frequency-based Cleaning =
together.

but if you check the technote 235352, I have to disable the =
Frequency-Based cleaning to get TapeAlert working. Any idea?=20

Second Question:

I have an instinct thought that TapeAlert will not work in NT media =
server platform or doesn't work properply in Windows Environment. Does =
anyone have experience with TapeAlert with Windows NT/2000 Platform?

-----------------------
Thanks
ldf

  The documents suggest that both can be used simultaneously, frequency =
and tapealert cleaning. =20

  This is from the Media Manager Guide, page 286, v3.4.

    Using TapeAlert with frequency-based cleaning ensures that a given =
drive will get
    cleaned at least every x hours, depending on the cleaning frequency =
value. The drive may
    be cleaned sooner, if the CLEAN_NOW flag is raised by the drive.


    Using TapeAlert without frequency-based cleaning, ensures that the =
tape will be cleaned
    only when the drive sets its CLEAN_NOW flag.

  If you want to use tapealert feature, you have to disable the =
frequence-based cleaning, which is set to 0 hours for your drive.
