Set Up NetBackup for Reactive Cleaning
Set up NetBackup for Reactive Cleaning using either the Adminstration Console or the commandline.
Setup Reactive Cleaning Using the Administration Console
- From the Administration Console, select Media and Device Management.
- Select Device Monitor, and then select Drives.
- In the Drive Status pane, select an SL150 drive and then open the Actions menu.
- Select the Set Cleaning Frequency parameter, and set the value to 0 (zero). This tells NetBackup to clean drives in response to Tape Alerts.
- Repeat until you have configured all SL150 drives.
Setup Reactive Cleaning Using the Commandline
- To add a drive to the NetBackup configuration, use the command
tpconfig -add -drive -type [

- If you have already added the drives to your NetBackup configuration, run the command
