Hi,
I've being using amanda for a couple of years. Recently I upgrade amanda from
2.4.1 to 2.4.2p2. I also upgrade the clients to 2.4.2p2. Now I have problems
with chg-scsi. I red once that the new version of amanda's chg-scsi changer
supports Exabyte's X220 library. I configured amanda.conf with chg-scsi:
tpchanger "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-scsi"
tapedev "0"
rawtapedev "/dev/null" # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/etc/amanda/Daily/chg-scsi.conf"
changerdev "/dev/sg0"
In chg-scsi.conf I set eject > 0 (to use eject), changer to sg0, tape to nst0,
cleancart to 1, rotate tapes between 10 and 19. Here is my chg-scsi.conf:
number_configs 1
eject 2 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 25 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
changerdev /dev/sg0
# Next comes the data for drive 0
config 0 # Daily
drivenum 0
dev /dev/nst0 # the device that is used for the tapedrive 0
scsitapedev
/dev/sg0
tapestatus /home/amanda/Daily/tapestatus
labelfile /home/amanda/Daily/labelfile
startuse 10
enduse 19
statfile /home/amanda/Daily/statfile
cleancart 1
cleanfile /home/amanda/Daily/tape-clean
usagecount /home/amanda/Daily/totaltime
'chg-scsi -status' seems to recognize that the library has 21 elements:
DecodeModeSense : Element Address Assignment Page
Medium Transport Element Address 86
Number of Medium Transport Elements 1
First Storage Element Address 0
Number of Storage Elements 21
First Import/Export Element Address 0
Number of ImportExport Elements 0
First Data Transfer Element Address 82
Number of Data Transfer Elements 1
but 'amtape <config> update' doesn't unload a tape to the slot from where it was
previously loaded but unload it always to slot 1 (that is declared as cleancart
and shouldn't be used). Than I get 'Input/output error':
[amanda@craft83 amanda]$ amtape Daily update
amtape: scanning all 10 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 0: date 20020520 label Daily_00000039
slot 1: rewinding tape: Input/output error
What is wrong with my configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Ted
P.S. Here is the output from 'chg-scsi -status all'
