Dean pegged the problem with the library reading the rightmost characters,
not the leftmost set. Find your library manual and fix that. Delete the
incorrect tape entry entirely and reinventory to get the tape defined
correctly (or just manually fix it all - check the vmquery output for your
current tape to make sure it's defined as a cleaning tape).
Barcode rules are intended for automatically managing more than one tape.
For example, for cleaning tapes, my barcode rule is
==================================================
rule number: 0
barcode tag: CLN
media type: HC_CLN
pool name: None
cleanings: 50
description: HCART Cleaning Tape
==================================================
The "tag" value is simply "CLN". Any tape injected starting "CLN" will be
added as a HCART cleaning tape. You probably shouldn't define a barcode
rule for a single tape - it's just wasteful and doesn't help you on the next
cleaning tape to be injected.
I've got barcode rules that identiffy all tape numbers greater than 5000 to
be LTO2 tapes while tapes less than this are LTO1 tapes. Very magical when
managing more than one type of tape in your library.
Anyway - HTH - M

Might be something wrong there.
I don't know about that HP library (rebadged Quantum or ATL?). With STK
libraries, if you put a cleaning tape in the correct slot, the library will
automatically clean the drives when required, and NetBackup doesn't need to
know about it - it doesn't even know about the cleaning tape.
Cheers,
Dean

Morning
I am having some problems getting Netbackup to use a Cleaning Tape on a NBU
5.1 MP1 Win2k3 Master Server.
I have a Cleaning Tape called CLN0001L as a Barcode. I have inserted into my
HP EVL Tape Library into SLOT 1.
Netbackup sees the tape as Media ID N000L1
Now, reading the SysAdmin guide, it talks about creating a rule for
barcodes, therefore I created a rule as follows:
Barcode Tag CLN0001
Max Mounts 40
Media Type 1/2 Cleaning Tape
Volume Pool NONE (and I have confirmed the tape is in this pool)
Description - Cleaning Tape
So, rule created, I tried to use the GUI to run a clean but netbackup does
not see the tape or actually recognise it!
Im wondering if anyone can advise where I have gone wrong? I can do a clean
from the Robot, but its a very long process
Thank you
So from the Robot
