Cleanning Light
Without fail when changing tapes, the USE CLEANING TAPE light will come on, on at least one of the drives in the arrays. usually the same drive. After running a cleaning tape, the light goes out. Then we insert a tape, and the light comes back on. We have tried all combinations of new cleaning tapes, new tapes, tapes from drives that don't require cleaning, and cleaning more than once, but the same thing happens every single night. I have replaced a couple of the tape drives, and that seems to work, but we are talking about over 20 drives now.
I have upgraded the firmware (on the DLT DRIVES... version 2255 or 2552???) to the latest version on one of the servers, but the exact same thing still happens.
It seems like every week another server has the same problem. We have over 60 Proliant servers in-house alone, and this is getting ridiculous.
Please help. This is driving me mad.

Re: Cleanning Light
Most data that's backed up has some kind of compression (word processor files, spreadsheets, etc). Many operating systems compress data somewhat when it's written to the disk. You will never get a 2:1 compression ratio if any of the data being backed up is compressed at all.
