I have a Breece Hill Q2.15 with 15 slots and one drive. I cannot get
amanda to see any tapes in the drive...even though mtx reports differently:
any suggestions or references greatly appreciated.
# mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 15 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded)
Storage Element 1:Empty
Storage Element 2:Full
Storage Element 3:Full
Storage Element 4:Full
Storage Element 5:Full
Storage Element 6:Full
Storage Element 7:Full
Storage Element 8:Full
Storage Element 9:Full
Storage Element 10:Full
Storage Element 11:Full
Storage Element 12:Full
Storage Element 13:Full
Storage Element 14:Full
Storage Element 15:Full
Here are the relevant lines from amanda.conf:
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of
amdump
tpchanger "chg-multi" # the tape-changer glue script
#tpchanger "chg-mtx"
#tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" #use if mtx uses load, unload (unary error)
tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
#rawtapedev "/dev/null" # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
#changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer"
#changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status"
#changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/daily/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/sg1"
and from changer.conf:
# Enumerate the device files that go with the particular tape changer
# slots. Don't forget to specify the no-rewind version of the device.
slot 0 /dev/nst0
slot 1 /dev/nst0

and the results of amcheck:
