Hi,
I've been using amanda (2.4.1p1) for quite a while with complete sucess. I
have recently purchased two Sun L280 changers (6 slots, 1 DLT 700 drive)
to replace my single slot units.
I have decided to upgrade to 2.4.2p2 running on SPARC Solaris 7 and am
having real problems getting the changer to work. I have been through the
archives, faq's etc.. and although there are numerous posting of a similar
vein I haven't found any relevant resolutions.
So far I have tried the following :
- built and installed sst form the 2.4.2p2 source. I have a /dev/rsst1 and
running sstest '/dev/rsst1 rew' I get 'Device rewound, status =
0x0'. There are no reported errors with any of the test commands but I am
not sure whether this confirms that all is OK.
(I have also tried sg from SUN which I couldn't get to install and stctl
but found out that this doesn't support the L280)
- I have built the latest mtx from sourceforge :
# mtx -f /dev/rsst1 inquiry
Product Type: Disk Drive
Vendor ID: 'IBM '
Product ID: 'DDRS34560SUN4.2G'
Revision: 'S98E'
Attached Changer: NoA
# mtx -f /dev/rsst1 status
mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=0 (Unknown?!)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=No Sense
mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no
mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no
mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 00
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00
mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no
mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no
mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no
READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed
I've searched the mtx archives but found no resolutions.
I'm not sure if I am going along the right line here - am I using the
appropiate SCSI drive / glue script combo.
I've spent a lot of time on this so far and just wanted to confirm that I
am indeed going in the right direction before I continue.
Has anyone else got this combination working. Am I doing the right
thing. What should I do next.
Any help or advise would be grately received.
Many thanks, Adam.
