Hello All,
I recently taken over this site and we have a SL500 library here whic is setup for auto cleaning and is directcly attached to a media server . But it appears it is not cleaning regularly. The cleaning tape status in the library if I check thru the console shows "warning". I also see that there is a cleaing tape defined on the netbackup Master runing on 7.5.0.6. which is assigned to the None pool and when I do an inventory it lists out the cleaning tape as well. How can I setup this library correctly to operate with auto cleaning. Looking at the previous posts suggests that the tape should be in the reserved slot of the library ? how can I ensure that. I also see lots of tape alert messages int he media error logs. I manually cleaned one drive which has a tape lert on but even after cleaning the drive manually and resettng the flag it again had a tape alert.
depply appreciate your suggestions and recommendations.
Thanks
