It tells you how in the Admin guide but here is the short cut
Put the media in any slot with Netbackup tapes within the robot
Go into your media inventory and add them in so Netbackup recognizes the
cleaning tapes (they have to be labeled CLNxxx and in the pool of NONE)
Create a barcode rule telling it CLN is always in pool of NONE and it is a
cleaning tape
If you have proper patches of Netbackup and OS to use tape alert of the drive
(and if drive supports it) then when the tape alert flag shows the drive needs
cleaning Netbackup will clean the drive
Make sure drive cleaning is turned off on the robot

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
