Ups, the syntax might be different, but you can keep all config files in
one directory ..

OK lets try it. If you have a linux/bsd system you can try to get the
development version of amanda 2.5.0 and use the chg-scsi prgramm from there.
(this version is available through CVS, see www.amanda.org)
After compiling but not installaing this version you can try to run
cd to_your_amanda_conifg_directory
/path_to_the_source/changer-src/chg-scsi -genconf
If this works you can copy the chg-scsi version to your libexec directory,
save the ouput from the above in a file chg-scsi.conf, and add the following
to amanda.conf
tpchanger "chg-scsi" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "0"
changerfile "/path_to_your_config/chg-scsi.conf"
remove everything like
changerdev, tapedev from the amanda.conf
No you can try to get a known state for the robot
amtape reset
and write a label
amlabel conf xxx slot current
(xxx must be a valid label name)
Hope this helps a little bit
