RE: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning Tape Process NBU 5.1 Not functioning

Title: Message

I don’t bother using the barcode rules for cleaning tapes.  Now that I have them inserted in the robot, I just eject it out when it’s used up and put the label on a new cleaning tape.  Then inventory it back in and use vmadm or the NBU admin console to change the # cleanings left.   For adding them the first time I use NBU admin console Actions-> New-> New Volumes.  You’ll have to delete CLN0001 out of the inventory (right click, delete) first.  Then add it with the correct media type, 1 volume, media ID CLN001 slot #, volume pool None, max cleanings 40.  My barcodes are only 6 characters long and I’m using STK but I think it should work the same way.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 1:43 AM To: 'veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu' Subject: [Veritas-bu] Cleaning Tape Process NBU 5.1 Not functioning   Morning I am having some problems getting Netbackup to use a Cleaning Tape on a NBU 5.1 MP1 Win2k3 Master Server.   I have a Cleaning Tape called CLN0001L as a Barcode. I have inserted into my HP EVL Tape Library into SLOT 1. Netbackup sees the tape as Media ID N000L1   Now, reading the SysAdmin guide, it talks about creating a rule for barcodes, therefore I created a rule as follows:   Barcode Tag CLN0001 Max Mounts 40 Media Type 1/2 Cleaning Tape Volume Pool NONE (and I have confirmed the tape is in this pool) Description - Cleaning Tape   So, rule created, I tried to use the GUI to run a clean but netbackup does not see the tape or actually recognise it!   Im wondering if anyone can advise where I have gone wrong? I can do a clean from the Robot, but its a very long process   Thank you   So from the Robot   Simon Weaver Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Tel: 02392-708598 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   This email is for the intended addressee only.
