Re: [Veritas-bu] Drive cleaning
The other thing to look at is your labels, do they end in L1 - like an LTO1 tape label. If they do and the drive is an LTO4 it won't use it. At least I know this is the case on my Scalar i2000. I had to get new cleaning labels as all mine ended in L1 and they wouldn't work in the LTO4 drive. Not sure if the drive wouldn't use them or if the robot would fail to load, but new labels fixed my problem.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Drive cleaning
Error 98 means it couldn't find any available media for the job. NBU tracks max cleanings and how many are left on a cleaning tape. Make sure there are still cleanings on the cartridge. Most cleaning cartridges can provide 50 drive cleanings. They should be in Volume pool None On the I2k you can slide the robot column to the right. It won't hurt it. The best way though if you want to have the library handle the cleanings is to use the partitioning utility on the library and add some slots for cleaning tapes. I personally like to have NBU handle the cleanings as I have a busy system and I have had drives get downed by NBU due the drive being unreachable while the library was cleaning the drives. When NBU handles it then drives stay up. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of smwoodcrafts Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 8:02 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Drive cleaning Now when cleaning needs to be done and the job starts, it picks the cleaning tape and then it fails with a 98 error.
