Set Up Tape-Alert Cleaning in EMC Networker

EMC Networker automatically cleans drives if it is configured to receive Tape Alerts from the drive.

To enable Tape Alerts, set up the Networker Common Device Interface (CDI) as follows.

1. In the NetWorker Administration interface, click on Devices, and select View, Diagnostic Mode.
2. Select Devices from the navigation tree.
3. In the Devices table, right-click on one of the SL150 tape drives, and select Properties from the context menu.
4. In the Properties window, select the Advanced tab.
5. In the Device Configuration area of the Advanced tab, under CDI settings, select SCSI Commands: Sends explicit SCSI commands to tape devices.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until the Common Device Interface has been configured for all SL150 tape drives.
