Hello NBU forum,
 
I prefer to do my tape cleaning manually, so I've setup the NO_TAPEALERT touch 
file.
 
The touch file "NO_TAPEALERT" in "/usr/openv/netbackup" does not appear to be 
working.
 
On occasion I'll have a drive go to into a down state with the logs reporting 
the reason it was downed was due to their need to be cleaned.
 
When I run:
 
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin # ./tpautoconf -t
TPAC45 QUANTUM DLT7000         2565 PXB07S2697 -1 -1 -1 -1 /dev/st/nh0c0t0l0 - 
TapeAlert enabled 
It shows that TapeAlert enabled.
 
Maybe this touch file needs to reside in "/usr/openv/volmgr" or is this a 
legacy setting that no longer works?
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance.
Scott Jacobson
