Hi all experts,


We have Veritas Netbackup v6.5 on Solaris x86 32 bit. I am getting errors during manual cleaning on tape. Please see below:
vmchange -new_mt hcart3_clean -m CLNU01
# tpclean -C  HP.ULTRIUM3-SCSI.000

 


In Netbackup activity monitor it shows below:

06/04/2010 11:26:45 - Cleaning of drive HP.ULTRIUM3-SCSI.000 from server netbak with media CLNU01.
06/04/2010 11:26:46 - Error bptm (pid=29265) error requesting media, TpErrno = Robot operation failed

1) verify that your cleaning tape still has uses left. It seems using NB to do the cleaning, or having the robot to do the cleaning.  Check NB or the library and see if it tells you how many uses are left on the tape.

2) is it the correct type of cleaning tape.  Can't use a dlt cleaning tape on a LTO drive.

3) verify it is right side up in the library.

first, do not add questions to old posts. Create a new one

Try to move the cleaning tape to the tape using the library's GUI.
