The NetWorker cleaning cartridge support provides notification messages to inform
you of cleaning cartridge operations, as shown in Table 1.
Check the documentation from your autochanger manufacturer for recommendations
on the frequency and cleaning methods for your autochanger devices.
Using a Non-Default Slot for the Cleaning Cartridge
To use a non-default slot for the cleaning cartridge, follow these steps:
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 NetWorker Administrator 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;
