Hi Thomas, Thanks for responding! I'll look into the 2.5.0 development version of amanda and compiling it myself instead of using the ports tree. Seems to me, though, that there were no shapshots available, and that I had to use CVS. Since I didn't [don't] know how to use CVS, I skipped over this option. Guess it's time to learn CVS... In term of your question regarding whether the tape drive and robot use different SCSI id's, I'm not sure how to answer (I constatntly confuse SCSI ids with LUNs, etc.). Hopefully this answers you question: su-2.05# camcontrol devlist <QUANTUM VP32210 81H8> at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0) <SEAGATE ST31230N 0090> at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,da1) <HP C1553A 9503> at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 (pass2,sa0) <HP C1553A 9503> at scbus0 target 3 lun 1 (pass3,ch0) What I *think* this is telling me is that the tape and robot use the same SCSI ID but different LUNs. (?). Does this help? Here's some more info, in case it helps you help me :0) su-2.05# chio status slot 0: <ACCESS> slot 1: <ACCESS,FULL> slot 2: <ACCESS,FULL> slot 3: <ACCESS,FULL> slot 4: <ACCESS,FULL> slot 5: <ACCESS,FULL> drive 0: <ACCESS,FULL> su-2.05# chio params /dev/ch0: 6 slots, 1 drive, 0 picker /dev/ch0: current picker: 0 su-2.05# /usr/local/sbin/mtx -f /dev/pass2 inquiry Product Type: Tape Drive Vendor ID: 'HP ' Product ID: 'C1553A ' Revision: '9503' Attached Changer: No su-2.05# /usr/local/sbin/mtx -f /dev/pass2 next Too many Data Transfer Elements Reported -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Hepper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 12:09 PM To: Sean Noonan Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Amanda, FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, and HP SureStore 12000E 4mm DAT changer--HELP Hi, On Thu, May 31, 2001 at 08:27:41AM -0700, Sean Noonan wrote: > 4.

The 2.4.2p2 version of chg-scsi is not the best for FreeBSD, can you try to download amanda-2.5.0 (the development version) and try chg-scsi from there (compile amanda, but don't install it, copy only chg-scsi) The 2.5.0 version of chg-scsi has an option to create an sample config for chg-scsi, try chg-scsi -genconf. > > I guess the best thing that could happen is for someone to post or send me > their WORKING configuration of FreeBSD 4.3, HP SureStore 12000E, and > Amanda 2.4.2-p2. Anybody got this combo out there??? Is this an device with different SCSI id's for the tape and the robot ?
