Virtual TapeServer 6.04.02 Operations and Administration Guide

88 | Using Scan/Cleanup
cleanup_minimum_size_
GB
and
cleanup_minimum_size_
MB
Define which files to ignore based on size by
using either cleanup_minimum_size_MB
or cleanup_minimum_size_GB, but not
both. The specified value is used to set the
minimum file size to erase. Some
installations have many small virtual tapes
and do not require that they be erased. For
larger tape sizes, use the
cleanup_minimum_size_GB parameter;
for smaller sizes, use the
cleanup_minimum_size_MB parameter.
A typical setting for the
cleanup_minimum_size_GB parameter is
8, which specifies not to erase virtual tapes
with less than 8GB of data. If you specify 0
for either of these parameters, all files can
be erased. (To disable Scan/Cleanup so that
no cartridges are erased, set
cleanup_enable="NO".)
Default value: 0 (for both parameters)
Integer
cleanup_show_NO Controls whether VTS should display the
NO rows on the Scan/Cleanup page. Many
of the virtual tapes will not be scheduled for
erasure. To make the display smaller and
simpler, the NO rows are suppressed. When
this parameter is set to NO, a small button
is shown that permits the user to
temporarily override this parameter and
show the NO rows.
Default value: NO
YES or NO
cleanup_show_erase_
column
Shows or hides the Erase meta data column
in the Status Table. The date of the last
erasure may not be important to a
particular installation of VTS. However,
this information may easily be viewed by
enabling this feature.
Default value: NO
YES or NO
