Hi Tom, Your changer file is not use. What is the full path of your changer file? What's your changerfile in amanda.conf?
>From the chg-zd-mtx script: #### # Now you are ready to set up the variables in the changer configuration # file. # # All variables are in "changerfile".conf where "changerfile" is set # in amanda.conf. For example, if amanda.conf has: # # changerfile="/etc/amanda/Dailyset1/CHANGER" # # the variables must be in "/etc/amanda/Dailyset1/CHANGER.conf". # # If "changerfile" is a relative path, it is relative to the directory # that contains amanda.conf. That also happens to be the directory Amanda # makes current before running this script. #### On Wed, Jun 18, 2003 at 12:50:16PM +0100, Tom Brown wrote: > Hi, > > NEC autloader with 10 slots and IBM ultrium tape drive. > > mtx version 1.2.17 > > amanda-2.4.4 > > dmesg - > > Vendor: IBM Model: ULTRIUM-TD1 Rev: 1CSG > Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 > (scsi0:A:2): 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit) > Vendor: NEC Model: LL0101H-0A Rev: 0002 > Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > > I can control this robot with mtx fine - I have noticed that i need to do a > mt -f /dev/nst0 offline before i can unload but other than that mtx is fine > and i can load and unload happily. > > The problem comes when doing, at the moment, an amlabel. > > the first tape loads and labels fine with a > > $ amlabel -f gt-host gthost01 slot 1 > labeling tape in slot 1 (/dev/nst0): > rewinding, reading label gtlto01, tape is in another amanda configuration > rewinding, writing label gthost01, checking label, done. > > then when trying the next > > $ amlabel -f gt-host gthost02 slot 2 > amlabel: could not load slot "2": Cannot find slot 2 in slot list ( 1) > > an mtx status gives me > > $ mtx -f /dev/sg3 status > Storage Changer /dev/sg3:1 Drives, 9 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) > Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded):VolumeTag = > Storage Element 1:Empty:VolumeTag= > Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 8:Empty:VolumeTag= > Storage Element 9:Empty:VolumeTag= > > This is whats in my changer file > > firstslot=1 > lastslot=7 > cleanslot=8 > AUTOCLEAN=0 > autocleancount=99 > havereader=0 > offlinestatus=1 > OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=1 > tapedev=/dev/nst0 > > I think this is because of the drive needing an offline before an unload but > i thought this should have been taken care of in the change.conf > > $ cat /tmp/amanda/amlabel.20030618134533.debug > amlabel: debug 1 pid 28779 ruid 11 euid 11: start at Wed Jun 18 13:45:33 > 2003 > changer: got exit: 2 str: <none> Cannot find slot 2 in slot list ( 1) > amlabel: could not load slot "2": Cannot find slot 2 in slot list ( 1) > amlabel: pid 28779 finish time Wed Jun 18 13:45:34 2003 > > and > > $ cat /tmp/amanda/chg-zd-mtx.20030618134533.debug > chg-zd-mtx: debug 1 pid 28790 ruid 11 euid 11: start at Wed Jun 18 13:45:33 > 2003 > 13:45:33 Arg info: > $# = 2 > $0 = "/opt/amanda-2.4.4/libexec/chg-zd-mtx" > $1 = "-slot" > $2 = "2" > 13:45:33 Running: /usr/sbin/mtx status > 13:45:34 Exit code: 0 > Stdout: > Storage Changer /dev/sg3:1 Drives, 9 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) > Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded):VolumeTag = > Storage Element 1:Empty:VolumeTag= > Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag= > Storage Element 8:Empty:VolumeTag= > Storage Element 9:Empty:VolumeTag= > 13:45:34 Config info: > firstslot = "1" > lastslot = "1" > cleanslot = "-1" > cleancycle = "120" > offline_before_unload = "1" > unloadpause = "0" > autoclean = "0" > autocleancount = "99" > havereader = "0" > driveslot = "0" > poll_drive_ready = "3" > max_drive_wait = "120" > 13:45:34 LOADSLOT -> load drive 0 (/dev/nst0) from slot 2 > 13:45:34 Exit (2) -> <none> Cannot find slot 2 in slot list ( 1) > chg-zd-mtx: pid 28917 finish time Wed Jun 18 13:45:34 2003 > > thanks for any help > > Tom -- Jean-Louis Martineau email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Departement IRO, Universite de Montreal C.P. 6128, Succ.
