OK. Here's (I think/hope) my LAST sanity question. My drive locks, and has a special "ENTRY/EXIT" port which is the only way to get tapes in and out of system.
is there a parameter I can call? Example question. tape 1 is loaded into drive 1 (element 451) tape 2 is loaded into drive 2 (element 452) tape 3 is loaded into drive 3 (element 453) My "ENTRY/Exit slot (a full magazine of 5 slots) are called, 401-405. Say I want to get the tape out of drive 1 how does amanda get tape 1 out of drive 1 (ok it sends a 1, to eject). what do I do to tell amanda to file back in slot # 1, where it came from? Can someone point me to the code I need to look at? I am guess what I am looking for is how amanda uses the robot to move a tape from (slot#XYZ to slot #45X (drive1/2/3) and once I have that, I will also need to know how to move to slot 401 to actually eject the tape! --where does this (slot/tape information) get referenced? do I have a variable somewhere for entry/exit slots? or do I just need to remember them when ejecting? boy this seems complicated!
