Scan/Cleanup
 Scan/Cleanup cannot erase cartridges in VTLs. When running Scan/Cleanup, locked
cartridges in a VTL will not be erased after migration even though they meet the criteria
to be erased. (TL-4326)
WORKAROUND: Disable the VTL.
 Retention time is not displayed correctly on Scan/Cleanup page. Retention is
shown in weeks until retention time exceeds a year, then it is shown in years. Time is
stored as a number of seconds but incorrectly converted for display. (TL-2629)
 Scan/Cleanup page performance is slow. Loading the Scan/Cleanup page is slow if a
large number of cartridges exists. It takes about a minute for a pool containing 1,000
cartridges. (TL-2358)
 The Written metadata date option on the Scan/Cleanup page displays Never
instead of the correct date/time. On the Meta Data Control Panel on the Scan/
Cleanup page, the Written metadata option displays Never instead of the correct date/
time if you change the cartridge size or write to a cartridge. (TL-264)
 Scan/Cleanup is not enabled though the web interface indicates that it is.
scanat.log includes the “Scan/cleanup configuration error - auto erase not enabled.”
message, but the web interface shows that auto erase is enabled, and Scan/Cleanup did
not run. (TL-3702)
WORKAROUND: If necessary, enable and configure Scan/Cleanup as described in the
Installation Guide.
 Cartridges are not erased when expected if cleanup_autoerase is configured.
Scheduled erasures do not occur when scheduled, though they are eventually erased. (TL-
2388)
 Scan/Cleanup page size column reports size on disk of cartridges rather than
data size. The size column on the Scan/Cleanup page shows the file size on disk. Thus,
cartridge data is different on this page than on other pages in the web interface. (TL-2158)
 Scan/Cleanup menu option may not be available. Customers using the Scan/
Cleanup feature should confirm that the VTS configuration file contains the
menu_ScanCleanup=”YES” parameter, which displays the scan/cleanup option from
the window drop-down list on the Virtual Media page (TL-505).
WORKAROUND: Add this line to the VTS configuration file. To edit the VTS
configuration file, click Supervisor Functions on the navigation pane, and then click
Edit Configuration File under the Utilities section of the resulting page.
 Cartridge having less than minimum size is listed as erasable in Scan/Cleanup
after migration. If a cartridge is below the size specified by the cleanup_minimum_size_
MB parameter, the cartridge is scheduled to be erased by Scan/Cleanup after migration.
This is incorrect behavior; it should not be scheduled for erasure. (TL-444)
Migration
 Incorrect error message logged after successful manual migration. If you
configure the Netbackup client on the VTS server and click the Migrate button, the
migration may succeed but hsmput.log contains the message indicating a network read
failure. (TL-4372)
