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 :
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 2
After 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).

Thank you so much Madame for your help.
I know that media density should be HCART but while i didn't find it in the droplist of the creation of the barcode rule, i left it as default DLT_CLN, but when i changed it to 1/2 inch cleaning tape, it is executed normally.
Thank you.

The drive type is hcart.
The cleaning tape type is set to dlt_cln - this is the issue.
The cleaning tape type needs to be set to hcart_cln - delete the tape, and reconfigure the barcode rule to set the tape as hcart_cln (might be 1/2" clean in the drop down list).
