Device management status code 59

Message: No cleaning tape is defined in the device's robot or 0 cleanings remain.

Explanation: Either an attempt was made to automatically clean a drive, but no usable cleaning media is available, or the number of cleanings that remains for the cleaning tape is zero.

Recommended Action:

  • Ensure that cleaning media was added to the robotic library for each drive type capable of being cleaned with a separate cleaning cartridge.

  • Ensure that a positive number of cleanings is available for the cleaning media in the EMM database for the robotic library. Replace the cleaning tape or increase the number of cleanings for the cleaning media before the count reaches zero.

  • Examine 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.
