The *real* tapedev(ice) is specified in chg-scsi.conf, here in amanda.conf, the proper useage is a number from 0 to whatever, that represents the index number of the configurations present in chg-scsi.conf. It can contain more than one set of specs, and you must specify here, which it is to use from the (possible) choices in chg-scsi.conf. As I only have one config spelled out in chg-scsi.conf, it is tapedev "0" in my amanda.conf. Likewise, and as it clearly says, define only one, so the rawtapedev line, the whole thing should be commented out. Ditto for changerdev, that also is properly spec'd in chg-scsi.conf, in the configuration number referenced above. chg-scsi.conf should start out resembling this: ------------------------- number_configs 1 eject 0 # Tapedrives need an eject command sleep 13 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready cleanmax 100 # How many times could a cleaning tape be used ------------------ Then each of these 'configurations' in chg-scsi.conf will look something like this, bearing in mind mine is a linux box so the devices shown are 'linux' devices -------------- # # Next comes the data for drive 0 # config 0 drivenum 0 dev /dev/nst0 # the device that is used for the tapedrive 0 startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0 enduse 3 # statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored #cleancart 3 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located #cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/totaltime # This is the end --------------- The next one would start out as 'config 1' etc.. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
