Cleaning Tape on 124T
This feels like a dumb question, I just can't see an answer anywhere.
We have the 124T drive. I have set slot 16 as a cleaning tape, and checked the auto-clean option.
Do I put a regular barcode label on the cleaning tape?
Will backup exec know it's a cleaning tape? Thanks.

I did the same thing - slot 16 set as the cleaning tape. I put a barcode on the cleaning tape as well. I've set the slot as a cleaning tape in BE 10.0d but the software still shows the slot as empty (won't/doesn't read the barcode). Under "media type" I even tried to set it as an LTO CLN but the software just defaults it back to "***".
On top of that I looked at the unit remotely the other day and it was asking to be cleaned but until I moved the cleaning tape to the drive, the unit would not auto-clean itself.
