Configure the Cleaning Volume

The cleaning tape volume is shared between backup servers when the backup servers are in a SAN, just as they share the same volume configuration for non-cleaning tape volumes. If the backup servers are not in a SAN, then each backup server has an assigned cleaning volume.

To configure the cleaning tape volume

  1. Open the StorageTek ACSLS Volume Configuration dialog, browse to the StorageTek ACSLS library and select a tape volume.
  2. Right-click the tape volume and select Mark/Unmark Cleaning Cartridge from the pop-up menu.

    The selected tape volume is marked as the cleaning cartridge.

To configure more cleaning tape volumes

  1. Ensure that the StorageTek ACSLS library is properly configured and initialized.
  2. Open the Device Manager window.
  3. Browse to and right-click the StorageTek ACSLS library. Select Library Properties from the pop-up menu.

    The Library Properties dialog opens.

  4. Select the Cleaning tab.
  5. Select the desired cleaning tapes and click OK.

    The Library Properties dialog closes. You have successfully configured the cleaning tape volumes.
