This is probabaly too obvious, but if your drives are HCART then the
tapes are HCART and the cleaning tapes should be HC_CLN...If you aren't
defining the cleaning tapes as the same type as the drives, then it will
fail.

HCART drives -->  HCART media --> HC_CLN cleaning tapes
HCART2 drives -->  HCART2 media --> HC2_CLN cleaning tapes
HCART3 drives -->  HCART3 media --> HC3_CLN cleaning tapes

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Drive cleaning



This is driving me crazy. We have 5 sites with backup environments .
Four of them have a Quantun i500 and the largest has a i2000. They all
have LTO4 drives. We are using TDK universal LTO cleaning tapes. I
created a barcode rule so that they are recognized as Hcart cleaning
tapes. 

I have tried to clean the drives through the Admin console and using
tpclean and both methods fail on all libraries. How does everyone else
clean their drives?
