I have a HP ESL Library, but I have to manually tell the unit to clean the
drives (if they need cleaning) - Cannot get Netbackup to communicate with it
for some reason!

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 

 

However, STK says we need to use NetBackup tape cleaning.   

 

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?

 

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.  

 

Thoughts on this?  Thanks, Monte
