We have an L700 shared between several netbackup masters. We had to turn =
off all netbackup cleaning of tape drives to prevent outages on the stk =
(now sun) drives. We did this per the tech note you listed.=20

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tape Drive Cleaning on ACS Libraries
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 =
<http://support.veritas.com/docs/267306> =20
=20
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
