90 | Using Scan/Cleanup
Enabling and configuring Scan/Cleanup
You must modify the VTS configuration file to enable Scan/Cleanup and configure some of the
business rules.
Requires the Edit VTS Configuration File access right
To configure Scan/Cleanup
Note
A default configuration file is defined for each VTS server. To override the default
settings, you must define settings as described below. Technically, you do not edit the
VTS configuration file; you simply define parameters that override those set in the
configuration file.
1. Click Supervisor Functions on the navigation pane.
2. Click Edit VTS Configuration File.
3. Add the following parameters at the bottom of the file that is displayed:
Parameter Description Values
menu_ScanCleanup Displays the scan/cleanup menu option on
the Virtual Media page. This menu option
enables you to access the Scan/Cleanup user
interface.
Default value: NO
YES or NO
cleanup_enable Enables Scan/Cleanup. When disabled, the
Scan/Cleanup page indicates that this
feature is disabled.
Default value: NO
YES or NO
cleanup_autoerase Controls the automated erase process.
When set to NO, the Scan/Cleanup page
displays the erasure cleaning status of each
virtual tape but no virtual tapes are erased
without further configuration.
Default value: NO
If you want to automate virtual tape
erasures, set this parameter to YES and set
the cleanup_scan_at and
cleanup_interval parameters. Once
enabled, the start time and interval are
used to determine how many times per day
the erasure process runs.
YES or NO
