Not sure about the cleaning.  Some libraries have cleaning slots and will 
automatically take care of it, but I think it just depends on the model.

As for the media server, here's the short list:

1. Make sure the machine can see the tape drive(s) directly over the SCSI/Fibre 
bus
2. Run NBU auto-config to identify and setup the drives, robot and storage unit.
3. Setup a policy that backs up to the newly created storage unit.  Just test 
the local machine first, then start adding clients.

Good luck.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning Tape & SAN Media Server

Good Morning.
Well so far, I am having alot more successful backups. I get the very odd 
status 84 message appear, but the backups do continue and complete.
 
Looking into this more, I wonder if my drives need cleaning. I have purchased 2 
tape cleaning media's - is there a way I can configure in Netbackup to 
"automatically" clean the drives??
 
Or do you have to use TPCLEAN? For example, I will stick the cleaning tape in 
slot 1 - can a schedule be set to clean tapes or am I talking rubbish!?
 
Also, if anyone has any docs on how to put in a SAN Media Server, I would TRULY 
apprecaite it!
 
Tried to implement a MEdia Server over the weekend, and clearly I am doing 
something wrong because when I finally got it up and running, all I was seeing 
was a mirror image of what my master is seeing! And although I am trying to 
configure the SAN Media Server to go through a fibre backup, rather than LAN, 
this does not seem to be happening!
 
Thanks to everyone with all of their help and input!
 
Simon
