I’ll check that but usually it’s
one or the other. Either the library will handle the cleaning or NBU will but
not both. I prefer NBU doing it that way I can monitor how many cleans the
cleaning tapes have left and my scripts will alert me when I need new cleaning
tapes in the library.

Brian,
The
libraries I worked on in the past would manage the cleaning requirements
outside of NBU.
All
we did was just define the tapes as cleaning tapes in NBU, however the library
needed to know which are the cleaning tapes, thus enabling it to call on the
tapes when needed. I would investigate the ADIC robot control/config.

Hi Brian
I had an LTO1 ADIC, and to be very truthful, I ended up doing it manually,
because the tape request simply did not interact with Netbackup 3.4
Not only that, the ADIC constantly wanted the drive to be cleaned almost
every other day. And I found this hard to believe, because if you do too
many cleans you would end up damaging the drive heads I guess!
The things to check would be the Barcode Rules, that its identified as a
cleaning tape, but as I said I never got it to automatically work. I checked
the amount of times the drives had been used and where required cleaned
them!

I have a ADIC i2k with LTO-3 (IBM) drives in it and NBU 5.1 MP3 running on
RH Linux AS3 but I seem to be having some issues with drive cleaning.
Some of the drives have the red 'C' indicator on the front of the drive with
the amber light flashing signaling that the drive needs to be cleaned.
However, the tapealert notification doesn't seem to be getting to NBU to do
the clean on the drive.
Yes, there are cleaning tapes in the library, in the correct partition and
are labeled properly. When I issue a tpclean command or do it from the
GUI
it works fine. The problem is I have to do all that manually.
The tape alert doesn't seem to be getting to NBU. I checked the messages
file but that doesn't seem to be giving me enough info.
Anyone have a suggestion for me on where to look next?
