Does robtest work ?
If so, try loading the cleaning tape into the drive from robtest.
eg
m sX dY
(Move slot x to Drive y)
m dY sX (move Drive Y to slot X to unload)

Thanks for reply Martin,
Yes robotic is working & backup alos working fine on first drive, sencond drive giving the message cleaning required & backups are getting failed on this drive after writing some data.
I tried robtest command to move the cleaning media into drive but is giving error
m s28 d2
Initiating MOVE_MEDIUM from address 1027 to 501
move_medium failed
sense key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED

TLD(0) key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED
Thanks

Seems it doe not like your cleaning tape.
Is it compatible with LTO4 drives?
Have you used this cleaning tape before in these drives? (Successfully?)

"Have you still got the box it came in?"
Hi Andy, Thanks for reply. Actually we are sitting on remote location & dont able to view the actual cleaning tape. As per site support its a cleaning tape HP Ultrium universal cleaning media. And we performed last cleaning before 6 month ago. Dont why this time we are getting this error. We are going to connect with site tech & ask him to send a snap of cleaning media & let you update.
Thanks u all for your suggesion & help.
Stuck tape? Can you move it via robtest?
* oh, Martin beat me to it *
will restore -- where there is a Will there is a way
Hi Martin, Thanks
But no media stucked in drive, Please check the details below

This error is coming from outside of NetBackup. Incompatible Medium Installed. Have you checked that the cleaning tape and the drive are actually compatible?
Hi Revaroo,
We are going to check & let you update. Thanks for reply.
Eject the cleaning tape from the library and check the actual barcode. There is something else besides CLNU01 on the label that says to the robot that the tape is not compatible with the drive.

Thanks Marianne,
I will check & update you.
Hi Marianne,
We checked with site tech & got the snap of cleaning tapes. These are cleaning medias only and below is the update-
Cleaning cartridge for use with all Ultrium 1,2,3,4, & 5 Drives (written on cleaning media)
Label on Tape:CLNU01L4 & CLNU02L4 (Actual barcode)
Please suggest.
Barcode looks good - looks like standard clening tape barcode.
This is the same as putting the tape in the drive by hand
m s28 d2
Initiating MOVE_MEDIUM from address 1027 to 501
move_medium failed
sense key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED
This is hardware error
TLD(0) key = 0x5, asc = 0x30, ascq = 0x0, INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED
For some reason, the drive does not like the tape.
Could be a firmware issue, or drive issue, or tape issue.
It was working before you say, so very odd, but it is not working now, and that error cannot be caused by netbackup.
I recommend you speak with the hardware vendor for advice.
Martin
It all seems right, but this is the robot that does not believe that drive and media is compatible. The robot is producing the error.
If you try to mount the tape through the robot front panel or the Web GUI, you will see the same error.
Your hardware vendor needs to sort this out. Possibly robot firmware issue?

Hi Martin/Marianne,
Thanks for help/suggestion, I will contact to harware vendor to sort it out this issue & update you once problem resolved. Thanks you all for yr time & valuable suggestion.

Hi All,
Drive cleaning issue now has been fixed, the problem due to drive old firmware. We have upgraded the drive firmware & drive cleaning done without any issue by using same media.
Thanks you all for your support & suggestion.
