RE: [Veritas-bu] Tape Drive Cleaning on ACS Libraries
Title: Message I have a HP ESL Library, but I have to manually tell the unit to clean the drives (if they need cleaning) - Cannot get Netbackup to communicate with it for some reason!

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?
