Re: [Veritas-bu] drive cleaning issue

Worst case, you (or someone) can take the cleaning tape and manually put it in the tape drive?or use robtest to load it and then move it back to the cap when it is done.

Then you can have breathing room to work through the issue.

Are you not able to use library based cleaning where NetBackup isn?t even aware of the cleaning tape?

Thank you,

Rusty

What is the density of your tape drives? Cleaning tape density needs to be the same as drive density.

Please send output of the following:

vmquery -m CLN001

tpconfig -l

Hi,

I have an issue with cleaning tape. A new cleaning was inserted in library and added it as cleaning tape,

however , library is not detecting it. When I click on drive to clean and a cleaning job initiates in Netbackup

and backup fails wth error 96.

Media ID : CLN001

Barcode : LM0100L2

Type: HC2_CLN

Error nbjm NBU status: 96, EMM status: Cleaning media is not available
unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available (96)

Kindly suggest ASAP as one of the drive is down and backups are failing.

regards

SAM
