How to Use a Non-Default Slot for the Cleaning Cartridge

1. Insert the cleaning cartridge in the slot you select.

2. In the Jukeboxes resource, find the Default Cleaning attribute and write down the number of uses left on the cleaning cartridge.

   To view the Default Cleaning attribute in the Backup administration program, display the Jukeboxes window in details mode.

3. Specify the slot number you want to use for the cleaning cartridge in the Cleaning Slots attribute, and set the Auto Clean attribute to Yes.

4. Change the Available Slots attribute to reflect the range of slots available for data volumes.

   If the slot for your cleaning cartridge is not the first or last slot in the autochanger, you must specify two ranges of slots in the Available Slots attribute. This is because the inventory of the autochanger must be performed in two steps, once for each range of slots.

   For example, if the autochanger contains 11 slots and slot 6 is used for the cleaning slot, specify:

   1-5 7-11

   On separate lines in the Available Slots attribute, or use the following syntax with nsradmin:

   available slots: 1-5, 7-11;

5. At the command line, enter the following command:

   # nsrjb -U uses -j autochanger -S slot

   In this command:

   uses is the number of uses left on the "Default Cleaning" field (the number you wrote down in Step 2).

   slot specifies the slot you now use as the cleaning slot.

   You can omit the -j ption if there is only one autochanger.

   Every time you replace the cleaning cartridge in the autochanger, you must run the nsrjb program to specify the number of uses left.

   Caution -

   If your autochanger does not support the element status or barcode labeling option, you must issue the command shown in Step 5 to tell the autochanger to add the cleaning cartridge to its inventory.
