Virtual TapeServer 8.2 Configuration Guide

94 | Enabling and Configuring Scan/Cleanup
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
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. 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.
(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
