Basics – Setting cleaning tape usage/registering a cleaning tape

A commonly asked question is “how do I register a cleaning cartridge?” If NetWorker is managing your cleaning, it’s typically a case of just telling NetWorker how many cleaning uses are left in the nominated slot(s) for cleaning.

I always prefer to do it from the command line. From there, the command is:

# nsrjb -U x -S y

Where:

  • x is the number of uses of the cleaning cartridge left (e.g., 20)
  • y is the slot number of the cleaning cartridge you want to “register”.
