I am using an ATL PowerStor L500 tape changer with one DLT7000 tape drive on
a RedHat 6.2 system. Yesterday everything was working fine as far as
accessing the tape drive and changer is concerned, but not anymore.
A cron script that was writing a tar.gz file to tape(not via amanda) was
running and I ran the 'amcheck' program. It tried to access the tape drive
and check the tape label, and I think that screwed things up. Now when I try
to use any of the amanda programs to access the tapes I get the following
error:
--------------------------------------------------------
bash$ /usr/local/amanda/sbin/amlabel -f DailySet1 Daily-001 slot 1
changer: got exit: 0 str: 1 /dev/nst0
labeling tape in slot 1 (/dev/nst0):

amlabel: tape open: Device not configured
tape open: Device not configured
amlabel: pid 12619 finish time Thu Jun 7 15:00:15 2001
--------------------------------------------------------
bash$ /usr/local/amanda/sbin/amcheck DailySet1
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /home/amanda: 14960580 KB disk space available, using 10864580 KB
changer: got exit: 0 str: 1 13 1
changer: got exit: 0 str: 1 /dev/nst0
amcheck-server: slot 1: tape open: Device not configured
So the error I'm getting is "tape open: Device not configured". But the cron
script(that I interrupted) is not running, and I don't believe anything else
is accessing the tape.
Thanks,
Nathanael
