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

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
