What is the density of your tape drives? Cleaning tape density needs to be the same as drive density.
Please send output of the following:
vmquery -m CLN001
tpconfig -l

Subject: [Veritas-bu] drive cleaning issue
I have an issue with cleaning tape. A new cleaning was inserted in library and added it as cleaning tape,
however , library is not detecting it. When I click on drive to clean and a cleaning job initiates in Netbackup
and backup fails wth error 96.
Error nbjm NBU status: 96, EMM status: Cleaning media is not available
unable to allocate new media for backup, storage unit has none available (96)
Kindly suggest ASAP as one of the drive is down and backups are failing.
