How many times should we use a cleaning tape? The default usage for the
library is set to 5 per cleaning tape. The manufacture of the
cartridge says "Cleaning Cartridge will provide 15 to 50 cleanings per
cartridge, as specified by the drive." I have not found any specific
drive info.
I have IBM LTO-4 drives, and I use "50" as the default value for my cleaning cartridges. But,
I keep reusing the cartridge until it fails to clean a drive. I've had this system since June
of 2007 and I'm only on my second cleaning cartridge (I have some drives that go a couple
months and others that want to be cleaned every two weeks -- that is a direct reflection of the
difference in their usage).
Assuming I change the default cleaning how can I change the count for
"uses left" for a cleaning tape already in use?
look at the nsrjb -U parameter.
