Hello,
I configured "chg-zd-mtx" for my Solaris tape changer (HP driver) on Linux -
cartridge have 6 slots. 5 days of backup worked fine. But now amanda and the
changer tries to access the 6th slot, where the cleaning tape resists,
cleaning the drive and put it back to the slot.
I have to load the tape from slot 1 manually - "amcheck -s Daily" now
welcome the tape.
How I have to configure the changer.conf correctly for automatic cleaning
and automatic tape cycle? I don't find an example file for "chg-zd-mtx" in
my current used version 2.4.2p1.
My configs:
---amanda.conf---
tapecycle 5 tapes
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda/Daily/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/sg0"
---amanda.conf---
---changer.conf---
number_configs 0
eject 0 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 10 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 50 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev /dev/sg0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/nst0 # the device that is used for the tapedrive

startuse 1 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 5 #
statfile /opt/amanda/etc/amanda/Daily/slot.log
cleancart 6 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for
drive 0 is located
cleanfile /opt/amanda/etc/amanda/Daily/clean.log # The file where the
cleanings are recorded
