No cleaning tapes

I am getting this error, when I need to clean my tape drivers on a IBM Tape library

I am doing the following

  1. Using the administrator console on my pc
  2. Go to device monitor
  3.  Right click on drive name
  4. Click on drive clean/clean now

No clean tape is define in the devies robot or 0 cleaning remaining (mm Status 4)

  1. On my media/volume pools/none
  2. There are 3 cln tapes in just put two new one in, a of them still have 100 cleaning available
  3. CLNU02/CLNU03/CLNU64

 

8. in robtest when I run s s it show cartridge=yes, but it does not show the barcode #

I cannot figure out why it does not see/use the cln tapes.

  • Nope! 

    Cleaning tape is still 1/2 inch cleaning tape media type.

    It must match the hcart2 density of the drives.

    So, you need to change the media type for the cleaning tapes to 1/2 inch cleaning tape 2.  

    PLEASE note the 2
