I'm using: Sun L20 (re-badged HP 2/20) with Ultrium LTO SPARC Solaris 8 mtx 1.2.16rel with sgen(7D) driver per contrib/config_sgen_solaris.sh Amanda 2.4.2p2 with chg-zd-mtx Works perfectly, I had to make a one-line change in chg-zd-mtx. Amanda 2.4.3 is recommended; chg-zd-mtx got a lot of work done on it. Make sure the changer firmware is up-to-date. I've talked to another L20 user who was having mtx problems, but they had older firmware (Anne, did the firmware download fix your problem?). FWIW, I've got: orion:/home/jayl 1> mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c4t4d0 inquiry Product Type: Medium Changer Vendor ID: 'HP ' Product ID: 'C7200 ' Revision: '133S' Attached Changer: No The LTO drives are great. I routinely get 15-20MB/s taper rates (HW compression on). -- Jay Lessert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accelerant Networks Inc. (voice)1.503.439.3461 Beaverton OR, USA (fax)1.503.466.9472
