Virtual TapeServer 6.04.01 Operations and Administration Guide
Using Scan/Cleanup | 99
cleanup_scan_at Specifies when the automated scan and 
erasure should run. A typical setting would 
be 04:30, which indicates to run at 4:30AM. 
To avoid scheduling problems, set this 
parameter greater than 00:04 and less than 
23:51. Specify 00:00 to disable this feature. 
Scheduling this once or twice a day should 
be frequent enough to manage disk space 
utilization.
Default value: 00:00
Time, in the 
24-hour 
format; 
values 
between 
(and 
including) 
00:05 and 
23:50 are 
allowed
cleanup_interval Controls how often (in hours) the feature 
should run. A typical setting would be 24, 
which indicates to run once a day. 24 must 
be divisible by the specified value; thus, the 
following values are supported: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 
8, 12, and 24. If the cleanup_scan_at 
parameter is set to 04:30 and 
cleanup_interval is set to 6, Scan/Cleanup 
will run at 4:30AM, 10:30AM, 4:30PM and 
10:30PM daily. If you specify 0, the feature 
is disabled.
Default value: 0
Integer
cleanup_threshold_ 
percent
Enables you to manage low disk space by 
indicating the threshold after which a 
cleanup is initiated. When the VTS file 
system reaches this threshold (a 
percentage), virtual tapes can be scheduled 
for erasure if this parameter is set. A typical 
setting is 90. When 90% of disk space is 
used, all virtual tapes on that vault are 
scheduled for erasure.
Default value: 100
Integer
cleanup_nonMigrated Indicates to erase virtual tapes that have 
not been migrated. Migration in used to 
move data from VTS to permanent storage. 
Default value: NO
YES or NO
cleanup_show_erase_ 
control_files
Displays Scan/Cleanup files that are used to 
implement the Scan/Cleanup erasure 
process. This is typically set to NO and may 
be enabled to help diagnose a system 
problem, if indicated.
Default value: NO
YES or NO
