4.2 NetWorker
This section provides notes about the settings that are performed for NetWorker.
4.2.1

Notes on Operation

■ Cleaning tape drives
• NetWorker has a function to automatically clean tape drives. When automatically cleaning tape drives, use
the NetWorker's automatic cleaning function.
• To use the NetWorker cleaning function, set the cleaning delay to 300 or more. For details, refer to the
manual supplied with NetWorker. When the automatic cleaning setting is enabled for the library type set-
ting or the drive type setting of Networker, the slot with the last slot number is used as a cleaning slot by
default. However, any slot can be set as the cleaning slot. For more details, refer to the manual supplied
with NetWorker.
■ Name resolution
When the name resolution of the server IP address and the server name fails, NetWorker may not be able to
recognize the LT140. For correct name resolution, check the server settings. For more details, refer to the
manual supplied with NetWorker.
4.2.2

Notes on Using Solaris OS

For Solaris 11 OS 11/11 or later, only the global zone is supported by NetWorker.
A tape library (jukebox) may not be automatically detected with the "jbconfig" command when Solaris 11 OS
11/11 or later is used. If this occurs, the tape library must be manually specified. For details, refer to the
manual supplied with NetWorker.
4.2.3

Notes on Using Windows

If NetWorker is used, download and install the driver corresponding to the Windows OS version and CPU on
the IBM web site "Fix Central".
If the LT140 has multiple tape drives, a restart of the Windows OS may change the recognition order of the
tape drives during the system startup.
If NetWorker uses the LT140, the changed recognition order of the tape drives becomes inconsistent with the
recognition order in NetWorker and prevents NetWorker from using the LT140. To prevent this problem, con-
figure the registry so that NetWorker uses the unique identification information (such as serial numbers) that
is specified for the tape drive.
Refer to the user's guide of the IBM driver for details.
