Hi, once again....
I've built a new kernel from source, 2.4.8-26mdk, with built in scsi and sg
support including the option for scanning all luns.
Now during but the changer is detected, as you guessed, at sg1:
[-----------------]
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:10.0
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.1
<Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/255 SCBs
Vendor: HP Model: C1557A Rev: U812
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
(scsi0:A:5): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 32)
Vendor: HP Model: C1557A Rev: U812
Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Vendor: IBM Model: DDYS-T09170N Rev: S96H
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
(scsi0:A:6): 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit)
scsi0:0:6:0: Tagged Queuing enabled. Depth 253
st: Version 20010812, bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs
16
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 17916240 512-byte hdwr sectors (9173 MB)
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target6/lun0: p1 p2
Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 1, type 8
[-----------------]
I've changed chg-scsi.conf to
[-------]
number_configs 1
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 90 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 100 # How many times could a cleaning tape get
used
changerdev /dev/sg1
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/nst0 # the device that is
used for the tapedrive 0
scsitapedev /dev/sg1
startuse 1 # The slots
associated with the drive 0
enduse 5 #
cleancart 6 # the slot where the
cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located
statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/caup/tape0-slot # The file where the
actual slot is stored
cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/caup/tape0-clean # The file where the
cleanings are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/caup/totaltime
tapestatus /usr/local/etc/amanda/caup/tapestatus
[-------]
But i should have some bad configuration somewhere because when i run
amcheck i get
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
amcheck-server: slot 1: date X label Tape-2 (first labelstr match)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape Tape-2 label ok
NOTE: info dir /usr/adm/amanda/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run
NOTE: index dir /usr/adm/amanda/index: does not exist
Server check took 26.628 seconds
Amanda don't goes thru all the tapes, it just loaded tape from storage
element 3 (and not slot 1 as mencioned).
During amcheck i get an error at the lcd display in front of the tape drive
stating: SCSI error: Check interface.
I'm completly lost! Help? My debug files are bellow.
TIA. Regards,
Manuel Monteiro

options, have it 'scan all luns'. Most drive devices are at lun=0, but the
changer robots are often at lun=1, and if you don't do that, then the
changer won't be found.
