Drive cleaning settings

On the Cleaning screen, the following settings are available.

 
Table 162. Drive cleaning settings
Setting
Description

Automatic Cleaning Supported

The default setting is ON for libraries that support automatic cleaning.

Barcode Prefix(es) of cleaning media

Specify the barcode prefixes for cleaning media. To configure multiple cleaning tapes, separate the barcodes using a comma. If you do not use the barcode labels of tape media, you can omit this option.

Note: The barcode prefixes (if applicable) and slot numbers are used to identify and place the cleaning media in the reserved slots. To set the “cleaning lives” option, the cleaning media should be placed in the designated slots.

Cleaning Slots

Specify the slot numbers that can hold the cleaning media. To configure multiple slots, use a comma.

Mixed media settings

On the Mixed Media screen, the following settings are available.

 
Table 163. Mixed Media settings
Setting
Description

Slot Types

This option specifies the slot ranges for each media type. The media organization in the library during initial setup determines how you configure this setting. To create this list, assign a unique Slot Type Identifier for each media type and specify the corresponding slot range for it. The format for creating is:

<SlotTypeIdentifier>=<SlotRange>

To specify more than one slot range for a media type, create a separate list item. Comma-separated values are not supported. Use the same Slot Type Identifier for configuring the additional slots or slot ranges. When assigning a Slot Type Identifier, verify that it allows you to easily identify the media type contained in the slot. No spaces are allowed in the values.

Example:

SDLTMedia=1-10

STKRMedia=11-30

LTO1Media=31-60

LTO1Media=101

Drive Types

This option specifies the types of drives that are available on the library. To create this list, assign a unique Drive Type Identifier for each media type and specify the corresponding drive number for it. The format for creating this list is:

<DriveTypeIdentifier>=<DriveNumber>

For multiple drives of the same type, configure each individual drive as a separate list item. Comma-separated values are not supported. Use the same Drive Type Identifier for configuring multiple drives of the same type. When assigning a Drive Type Identifier, make sure that it allows you to easily identify the drive type. No spaces are allowed in the values.

Example:

SDLT=1

STKR=2

STKR=3

LTO1=4

Drive Types/Media Type Compatibilities

This option specifies the supported media type for each drive type. The format for creating this list is:

<DriveTypeIdentifier>=<SlotTypeIdentifier>

Example:

SDLT=SDLTMedia

STKR=STKRMedia

LTO1=LTO1Media

This configuration ensures that a piece of media is only obtained from the corresponding slots when a particular type of drive is accessed.

Configuring default settings for tape drives

To configure default settings for a tape drive:
1
Start a terminal session or command window, and navigate to the “bin” directory under the NetVault installation directory.
2
Type the following command:
deviceconfig [-servername <FQDN> (-httpport <HTTP port> |
-httpsport <HTTPS port>)] -username <NetVault user>
-password <user password>
‑drivemachine <drive machine name> -drivepath <path to drive>
These options are described in the following table.
 
Table 164. deviceconfig options for modifying tape drive settings
Option
Description

-servername

Specifies the FQDN, or IP Address of the NetVault Server.

With this option, you must specify either the HTTP or HTTPS port to connect to the remote Web Service.

If you omit this option, the local server is used. The deviceconfig utility connects to the local Web Service and automatically detects the local Web Service configuration.

-httpport

Specifies the HTTP port for Web Service. This option is only required if the server name is supplied.

-httpsport

Specifies the HTTPS port for Web Service. This option is only required if the server name is supplied.

-username

Specifies a valid NetVault user name.

-password

Specifies the password for the user account.

-drivemachine

Specifies the name of the NetVault machine to which the drive is attached.

-drivepath

Specifies the name or path of the drive.
