Virtual TapeServer 8.2 Configuration Guide

Enabling and Configuring Scan/Cleanup | 93
cleanup_autoerase Enables Scan/Cleanup and controls the
automated erase process. When set to NO,
Scan/Cleanup is disabled and 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
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_nonMigrated Indicates to erase virtual tapes that have
not been migrated. Migration is used to
move data from VTS to permanent storage.
Default value: NO
YES or NO
