Cleaning tape's uses left 1

[kendre]

Hello!

I have Legato 6.1.1 for Win/NT.
We use 3 cartridges, every cartridge content a cleaning tape with different Bar Code Label.
The problem is that every time when we put a cartridge
Networker detects that the Cleaning Tapes has 20 uses left (default) even if used it before.

This is a standard thing with silos and probably with all autchenagers. The count for the number of uses of a cleaning tape is reset when the cleaning tape is taken out and put back in.
The simple answer, always leave a cleaning tape in if possible.

Can't one just use the recommended syntax in nsrjb to set the number of uses for a specific slot. i.e.

nsrjb -U 25 -S 10
would set the number of cleanings to 25 for the cleaning tape in slot 10?

Not sure if it works with barcode cleaning tapes or not. If it doesn't, perhaps
nsrjb -U 25 -T <barcode> would work.
