I have amanda 2.4.2 and a Qualstar TLS-6430 30 tape 2 drive ( DLT8000 ) robot
library.  I have installed mtx and am able to control the robot well with mtx
commands.  eg:

mtx -f /dev/sg/h0c0t0l0 inquiry
Product Type: Medium Changer
Vendor ID: 'QUALSTAR'
Product ID: 'TLS-6430        '
Revision: '2.18'
Attached Changer: No

What I am having some problems with is the amanda.conf section that deals with
tpchanger and such.  My robot is conrtoled with the device name of /dev/sg/h0c0t010

Here is a ( porrly done and not working ) section of my config file:

runtapes 1              # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"  # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0"     # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/nst0"  # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/usr/share/doc/mtx-1.2.16/contrib/mtx-changer"
#changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status"
#changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/nst0"


What is wrong in this section?  Does anyone have a working config file with this
or a similar unit that I can see?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mark
