The universal cartridges here don't have that naming convention. They're
Quantum (probably OEMed) with CLN###L4 where the ### is the cleaning tape
number.
So to set up barcode rules for such tapes rather than basing them on simply
CLN they have to be base on the specific cleaning tape
That is interesting.
We found with the IBM 3584 tape library (also known as TS3500) with the ALMS
feature turned on, the library has to be doing the cleaning.
We used to use a STK L700 with ACSLS software for sharing the library between
different Netbackup masters. We had issues and found a
The ACSLS and SDLC type software (and possibly the ALMS) will handle cleaning
differently than a TLD type robot. The problem with library based cleaning on a
TLD robot is that the application software - NetBackup - is unaware that a
drive is being cleaned. NetBackup can request a drive that is
Try doing basic name resolution troubleshooting. Also use bptestbpcd as a
test to see if the Master can even communicate with itself. Nbemmcmd
-listhosts -verbose is also a good command to see if your server is
working correctly.
