It probably depends on your library.... It will most likely place the
tape into the next available slot.
Our library (a DELL PV136T) would not recognize a cleaning tape until I
put a barcode on it... This was after I opened a case with Legato
support to ask how to insert/set a cleaning cartridge (They seemed to
have no idea what to do, could not tell me how to do it , except for the
nsrjb -U command)...
At first:
To get it into the last slot of the library, I had to fill up the first
59 slots, then insert/deposite the cleaning tape.... To set the number
of cleanings, I had to use the command-line nsrjb command: nsrjb -U 50
-S 60 (50 cleanings -Slot 60). You also have to set your number of
'Available slots' to 1 less than the slot count (59 in our case), as
well as set the cleaning slots=60.
I've since learned to move tapes around in the library using the front
panel LCD, so now I can insert the tape and then manually move it to the
last slot... Then issue the 'nsrjb -U ## -S 60' command.

How do I get networker to recognize a cleaning tape?
What's the command?
And if I deposit the tape will it automatically send the tape to it's
assigned slot?

First, our architecture is 100% FC with the exception of the library
robotics. Each backup server and storage node is zoned in the SAN to
see
only the drives that we want them to. The DDS drive is zoned to both of
the systems we want it to float between. This should work with SCSI
libraries as well as long as everything is close enough to the library
of
course.
After the zoning was completed and verified, everything was setup with
jbconfig. First on the NW server, then each storage node. We did the
DDS
drive last after testing each system/drive combination along the way.
The
verification was done to ensure what we thought was /dev/rmt/ubn1 really
was /dev/rmt/ubn1 and so on. It's been almost 2 years since we set it
up,
so I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact jbconfig process. I can dig up the
documentation or check with my co-worker if anyone would like additional
detail.
