Tape drives in "hcart3-Clean" status

[Chronos]

Hi guys,

NBU 6.5.5, running on Solaris 5.10. After a recent reconfiguration of one of the tape drives (it got replaced cuz it was not functioning properly) I've had the surprise of seeing this:

SL500-D1                 Yes     Yes    100220  100220  Yes       hcart3-Clean

    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/3cbn                        SCAN-TLD

    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/5cbn                        TLD

    raul                       /dev/rmt/0cbn                        ACTIVE

SL500-D2                 Yes     Yes    000711  000711  Yes       hcart3

    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/0cbn                        SCAN-TLD

    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/1cbn                        TLD

    raul                       /dev/rmt/3cbn                        ACTIVE

SL500-D3                 Yes     Yes    100237  100237  Yes       hcart3-Clean

    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/4cbn                        SCAN-TLD

    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/3cbn                        TLD

    raul                       /dev/rmt/1cbn                        ACTIVE

SL500-D4                 No      No                     No        hcart3-Clean

    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/1cbn                        SCAN-TLD

    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/0cbn                        TLD

    raul                       /dev/rmt/4cbn                        TLD

SL500-D5                 No      No                     No        hcart3-Clean

    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/5cbn                        SCAN-TLD

    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/4cbn                        TLD

    raul                       /dev/rmt/2cbn                        ACTIVE

SL500-D6                 No      No                     No        hcart3-Clean

    drezden.bkp                /dev/rmt/2cbn                        TLD

    stuttgart.bkp              /dev/rmt/2cbn                        SCAN-TLD

    raul                       /dev/rmt/5cbn                        ACTIVE

Except for that replaced TD (SL500-D2), all the other drives are now displaying the weird hcart3-Clean status. Since cleaning was not enabled at a tape library level, I've done that already, and the SLconsole now reports that the drives are no longer in need of cleaning... however, in the CLI I still get the same status. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Run /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpclean -M <Drive Name> for all the drives that are showing as hcart3-Clean.

The -M option with tpclean resets the mount time for a drive to zero.

You normally use this command after you manually clean the drive.

Regards,

/etc/init.d/netbackup stop

rem_drv sg

rm /kernel/drv/sg.conf

rm /dev/sg/*

rm /dev/rmt/*

devfsadm -C -v

cd /opt/openv/volmgr/bin/driver

../sg.build all -mt 15 -ml 1

./sg.install

/etc/init.d/netbackup

cd /

Tmy_70, perhaps your reply is for some other thread?

VM's post should do the trick (tpclean -M). 

Or in the GUI select Device Monitor, Drive Name, Drive Cleaning, Reset Mount Time

Cronos had this problem back in August...

Would be nice if he could tell what the current status is? such as ouptut of the following on the media server:

tpconfig -l
vmoprcmd -d
