I'm an amanda newbie was evaluating it for use in a lab I maintain. I was wondering if anyone has an Exabyte EZ17 Autoloader working with it on Solaris.
I am able to amdump and amrestore from it, but I haven't delved into the changer stuff yet. I had 2 veritas guys in trying to configure their very expensive software and they never called me back after they ran into some tape errors. (oh well for them). Anyway, I am confused on st.conf sgen.conf or if I even need to touch those to make the changer appear. At one time, I noticed when I had veritas installed cfgadm -al showed quite a few devices (I assume for changer) but after un-installing it appears back to normal (just showing rmt). Any ideas on whether the autoloader works, or even if it can be put into sequential mode, maybe amanda can cycle through the tapes until it finds the right one? At one time I started on the mtx avenue to try to get the changer to work (since I assumed at that point I would be better off the get amanda working with it) but I am stumped on not having an sg0 device or whatever solaris calls it.
