I'm not running the HP, but a Seagate 4 tape changer, with chg-scsi.conf as follows, there may be some help here. ---- number_configs 1 # emubarcode 0 debuglevel 0:0 eject 0 # Tapedrives need an eject command sleep 30 # 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 # apparently not required # amanda uses base 0 numbering, so startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0 enduse 2 # statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape5-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored cleancart 3 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape0-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/backup/totaltime tapestatus /usr/local/etc/amanda/tapestatus # TH # TH Added the labelfile to record which tape is in which slot. # TH this will speed up things on large changer to # TH find a specific tape labelfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/labelfile # This is the end I'd start by adjusting the enduse and cleancart numbers to reflect your HP's 6 tape capacity. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 98.89+% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a hillbilly
