All,

As a follow up I have decided to move to TapeAlert based cleaning [IE let
Netbackup do it]. I have exported the tapes via the L180 Front panel, and
have manually added them to the storage group and I can clean the drives
manually from the GUI and ltid even reports it in my messages file lovely!
HOWEVER, in my drive list for robot, my 6 LTO-II Fibre Channel drives are
listed with TapeAlert set to no. Does this mean that the drives don't
support TapeAlert as the numerous technotes I have read indicate that NB
turns it on by default and there is nothing special you should do to the
configuration. I have gone through the L180 manual and nothing is said about
tape alert.

Cheryl / anyone - got any ideas or comments on this?

Thanks

Kev Smith
