what is the mtlib command that shows how many cleaning cycles are available in the library? I used to know it but nothing seems to work now. >From: "Cook, Dwight E" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: 3494 cleaning (2 nd. try) >Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 08:49:48 -0800 > >make sure your cleaning volume mask is set properly... >I think by default it is CLN999 >I've set it to CLN*** >do this all from the console on the ATL... > >Dwight > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 10:18 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: 3494 cleaning (2 nd. try) > > >Hi Richard! >Thank you very much for not ignoring me this time :-) >The output from /usr/bin/mtlib -l $LMCP -vqK -s fffd: > >Performing Query Inventory Volume Count Data using /dev/lmcp0 >Inventory Volume Count Data: > sequence number......10143 > number of volumes....0 > category.............FFFD > >It looks like my library doesn't see the cleaning tape. >About two weeks ago I saw the first cleaning errors in the AIX error log.
