Oracle storagetek sl150 User Manual

Configuring Drive Cleaning Operations
Loading Media and Running Self Checks 3-3
1. When you add each of the SL150 library's tape drives to your Oracle Secure
Backup configuration, select Yes from the Auto clean list.
2. In the Clean interval (duration) field, enter the desired interval between cleaning
cycles.
3. In the Clean using emptiest field, select yes to use cleaning cartridges in
round-robin fashion, starting from the least-used cartridge, or no to use each
cleaning cartridge until it expires, starting from the cartridge with the fewest
remaining cleaning cycles (the default).
4. Click OK to save your changes.
5. Go to "Obtain the Required Number of Cleaning Cartridges" on page 3-7.
Set Up NetBackup for Reactive Cleaning Using the Administration Console
If you use the Symantec NetBackup Administration Console to add or update drive
configurations, proceed as follows:
1. From the Administration Console, select Media and Device Management.
2. Select Device Monitor.
3. Select Drives.
4. In the Drive Status pane, select an SL150 drive.
5. In the Drive Status pane, open the Actions menu.
6. Select the Set Cleaning Frequency parameter, and set the value to 0 (zero).
A frequency of zero tells NetBackup to clean drives in response to Tape Alerts.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all SL150 drives have been configured.
8. Go to "Obtain the Required Number of Cleaning Cartridges" on page 3-7.
Setting Up NetBackup for Reactive Cleaning Using the Commandline
If you use the Symantec NetBackup administrative commandline to add or update
drive configurations, set the cleaning frequency for each SL150 drive to zero, as
described below (for the full, authoritative, NetBackup command syntax, consult the
Symantec Commands reference for your version of the software).
1. If you need to add the drive to the NetBackup configuration, use the command
tpconfig -add -drive -type [hcart|hcart2|hcart3] path drivepath
-cleanfreq 0 , where:
■ hcart* is the generic NetBackup media identifier.
■ drivepath is the path to the device file for the drive. Stop here.
2. If you have already added the SL150 drives to your NetBackup configuration, run
the command
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpclean/tpclean -F drive_name 0 ,
where:
■ drive_name is the name that was assigned to the drive when it was added to
the NetBackup device configuration.
■ 0 is the value that turns off frequency-based cleaning in favor of reactive
cleaning.
3. Go to "Obtain the Required Number of Cleaning Cartridges" on page 3-7.
