question about cleaning tapes NBU 7.0.1

Question

Hi, I have NBU 7.0.1 on linux. I put a new cleaning tape in the robot today and ejected the old tape. I was wondering if there are any further tasks that need to be done on the server to clean up the database? It looks like several old cleaning tape IDs are in the EMM database.
Thanks, Mike

You can delete these, locate them in the GUI and delete.
Or use the vmdelete command (in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin)
vmdelete -m &lt;media id&gt; -h &lt;emm server&gt;

If these have all expired (mo cleanings left) you can just delete them from NetBackup
That will allow you to re-use those barcode labels again in the future
Alternatively you can change the number if cleanings left on each back to 25 but make sure the original used cleaning tapes are disposed of
Hope this helps
