[Veritas-bu] Drive cleaning

When you say "autocleaning", if you are referring to cleaning with Tape Alert,
you can not disable this. Tape Alert is always on and there is no way to shut
it off. With NBU it's either Tape Alert or Tape Alert + frequency based
cleaning.
The only way to not use Tape Alert is to not have a cleaning tape configured
within media manager (Tape Alert is still on and still detects that it needs
to clean the drive, but it can't and will log an error stating that it needed
to clean a drive but no cleaning tape was available).

If your cleaning frequency is 0, then autocleaning is enabled in NB. If you
don't want cleaning too occur, I think you'll have to set your cleaning freq
to something very big or just not load a cleaning tape and tolerate the
messages.

Below is a small sampling of the messages received since my NBU 3.2 to
3.4.2 upgrade last week. As can be seen from the output of tpclean -L my
cleaning frequency is 0 so Media Manager autocleaning should not happen.
I don't keep a cleaning tape in my Sun (Quantum ATL) L3500 library. The
drives were cleaned just a couple of weeks ago and the drive cleaning
lights are NOT on.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior. I used to have this problem
when I was at NBU 3.1.1 but I don't remember what the resolution was.
