Error 96 while drive cleaning
Hello,
I am trying to clean my tape drive (HP MSL 4048) because, reported as "Cleaning needed" in the Properties dialog box of the drive (the drive is HP.ULTRIUM4-SCSI)
So, I followed Netbackup Technotes explaining how to configure Cleaning tapes :
- Create a Bare code rule : done (BARE_CODE_RULE.JPG)
- Put the cleaning tape in the None volume pool : done (NONE.JPG)
- The media type is automatically set to DLT_CLN (DLT_CLEAN.JPG)
But, when i try to run a manual clean, i get error like in the attached file named (DRIVE_CLEAN.JPG, CLEAN_JOB.JPG)
I am asking now, if there's something more that needs to be done regarding my issue
Thanks in advance.
Why DLT_CLN density when the density of your tape drives (HP.ULTRIUM4) is hcart (or hcart2/3) ?
You should update the barcode rule and select densitity for cleaning cart to match density of your tape drives, e.g.
HC_CLN - 1/2 inch cleaning tape
HC2_CLN 1/2 inch cleaning tape 2After updating the barcode rule, delete the cleaning tapes with incorrect density and run inventory again (or use vmchange to assign new density to CLN media-id).
