  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.

  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.   
   
  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?
   
  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.  
   
  Thoughts on this?  Thanks, Monte
