Hi everyone
I have a HP-DAT24*6 tape drive connected to my backup server running
on linux. It works fine for a cycle of 6 tapes. I want to reuse the tapes but
after one cycle I am not able to do so. The tape changer acts weirdly
skipping tapes and doing any backups.
This is my changer file. do I have to make any changes to it. Any suggestions
regarding this.
#Changer file for chg-mtx
####
firstslot=1 #### 1st tape slot
lastslot=6 #### Last tape slot
cleanslot=6 #### Slot with cleaner tape
#
# # Do you want to clean the drive after a certain number of accesses?
# # NOTE - This is unreliable, since 'accesses' aren't 'uses', and we
# # have no reliable way to count this. A single amcheck could
# # generate as many accesses as slots you have, plus 1.
# # ALSO NOTE - many modern tape loaders handle this automatically.
#
AUTOCLEAN=0 #### Set to '1' or greater to enable
#
autocleancount=99 #### Number of access before a clean.
#
havereader=0 #### If you have a barcode reader, set to 1.
#
offlinestatus=1 #### Set to 0 if 'mt status' gives an
# #### "offline" when drive is offline.
# #### Set to 1 or greater if 'mt status'
# #### doesn't give and offline, rather an
# #### "ONLINE" when drive is online.
#
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0 #### Does your tape driver require a
# #### 'mt offline' before mtx unload?
