I just got a Exabyte 220 working with Amanda. I am using stctl which took
awhile to get working (due to it compiling in 32-bit mode by default), but
now it's working as advertised.
Two things on stctl configuration:
Go into the Makefile and uncomment out the BUILD_64BIT line and
Compile stctl with Sun Forte C++ (instead of gcc). gcc doesn't seem to be
able to handle the -xarch=v9 argument that is passed to it in 64-bit mode.
Also another thing that got me with the Exabyte for awhile is that I had
it in LCD mode from checking out the stuff the jukebox could do, but
forgot to put it back into SCSI mode.
With that, you should be able to get things working. (well if you get the
add_drv to work in 64-bit mode then you should be able to get things
working :)
HTH,
Chris
