Media Manager status code 117

Message: operation not allowed on cleaning cartridge

Explanation: A request was made to change a volume's expiration or maximum number of mounts. The operation is not allowed because the volume is a cleaning cartridge.

Recommended Action:

  • If the volume is a cleaning cartridge, perform a valid operation such as changing the number of cleanings that remain for the cleaning cartridge.

  • If the volume's media type cannot be determined, examine the command output, debug logs, and system logs for a more detailed message on the error.

    See "Setting Media Manager debug logging to a higher level" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • If the targeted volume is incorrectly configured as a cleaning tape, delete the cleaning volume. Then, update the volume configuration using options to define a new volume with the appropriate media type.
