New Cleaning Tape - What is required?

[eeicai]

Hi,

Want to insert a new cleaning tape into my jukebox(s). Running NwtWorker 6.2 on one server and 6.0 on another.
I think I may have seen that an nsrjb*.* operation is needed as opposed to a 'standrard inventory'?
Also does the cleaning tape need a label of some sort?

Many thanks,
C

This is what you need, for cleaning tape in slot 10
and saying it should have 25 uses.

Thanks, however does it need a physical label?

Personally I don't use the auto-cleaning, basically we feel it can over-clean the devices. We schedule a manual once a month cleaning, eight LTO-2 drives done under ten minutes.
