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 " 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
Your changerdev should be /dev/sg/h0c0t010 instead of /dev/nst0 and you need to customize mtx-changer if you haven't already. You probably need to set DRIVE_MUST_EJECT to 1 for your Qualstar and make sure all the devices and slot ranges are correct. I'm using a slightly modified version of Mark Holm's chg-qs-mtx script (which I believe he modified from chg-mtx to better support Qualstar libraries) which was posted to the list quite awhile back, so I'm probably not the best person to answer chg-mtx questions.
