Thanks for all the great input - Looks like we will use ACS to do the
cleaning!

We have an L700 shared between several netbackup masters. We had to turn
off all netbackup cleaning of tape drives to prevent outages on the stk
(now sun) drives. We did this per the tech note you listed.=20

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tape Drive Cleaning on ACS Libraries
We have a new ACS SL8500 robot that we are just starting to use. I am
wondering how others are doing their tape cleaning. Symantec says that
we have to use the robot to do it per this tech note"
http://support.veritas.com/docs/267306
<http://support.veritas.com/docs/267306> =20
=20
However, STK says we need to use NetBackup tape cleaning. =20
=20
Assuming I can actually use NetBackup - I have been able to get the
masters to see the cleaning tapes in NetBackup using ACS commands. But I
cannot figure out how to isolate groups of cleaning tapes (Using barcode
ranges) to individual masters on the same robot using ACS. Anyone know
how to do this?
=20
I could just create barcode rules on each master for the separate tape
ranges and dump any tape ranges not meant for that master into a
DO_NOT_USE pool. =20
=20
Thoughts on this? Thanks, Monte
