Hi, i hope you can help me out (please).
I'm using an identical system to yours HP Surestore Dat 24x6.
I've just recently instaled my first amanda server.
But, I'm having some problems related to the devices that amanda(mtx,
mt)
uses.
When using mt(with /dev/st0) or mtx(with /dev/sg0) everithing works
fine.
But, I can't make it work with amanda.
This is my configuration:
In the "amanda.conf" file:
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/chg-scsi-linux"
runtapes 1
changerdev "/dev/sg0"
tapedev "/dev/st0"
tapetype SURESTORE-1200E
In the "chg-scsi-linux.conf" file:
number_configs 1
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
firstslot=1
lastslot=3
cleanslot=6
AUTOCLEAN=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=0
offlinestatus=0
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0
statfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-slot
cleanfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-clean
usagecount /etc/amanda/DailySet1/totaltime
tapestatus /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapestatus
havereader=1
In the "chg-zd-mtx" file
MT=mt
MTF=-f
MTX=mtx
I'm running some tests, this are the errors that I'm receiving:
$ amcheck DailySet1

Am I doing anything wrong? Am I missing something?
Can you help me out, or even send me a configuration file that fit my
needs.
Thankx.
Xemuel.
