Error 98 means it couldn't find any available media for the job. NBU tracks max cleanings and how many are left on a cleaning tape. Make sure there are still cleanings on the cartridge. Most cleaning cartridges can provide 50 drive cleanings. They should be in Volume pool None
On the I2k you can slide the robot column to the right. It won't hurt it. The best way though if you want to have the library handle the cleanings is to use the partitioning utility on the library and add some slots for cleaning tapes. I personally like to have NBU handle the cleanings as I have a busy system and I have had drives get downed by NBU due the drive being unreachable while the library was cleaning the drives. When NBU handles it then drives stay up. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of smwoodcrafts Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 8:02 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Drive cleaning Now when cleaning needs to be done and the job starts, it picks the cleaning tape and then it fails with a 98 error. I tried to go back and do it manually, but here I have an ADIC i2000 and can't manually put a cleaning tape in as the robot column is in the way. When I try to load via the screen, the partition doesn't see any drives. I would pull my hair out, if I had any. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by dseym...@ap.org via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
