Just got amanda configured on a raidzone
but I don't think the changer file is correct
as it will not load tapes from the 29 storage
elements.
Do I have to label every tape before it will
move them form storage?
I am using linux REDHAT 7.1 on a raidzone.
The tape jukebox I am using is a Adaptec 29 tape
carousel with two DLT Quantum Tape drives.
Here is the output:
bash-2.04$ amtape / current
amtape: scanning current slot in tape-changer rack
slot 0: date 20030729 label DailySet-02
bash-2.04$ amtape / device <--------------how do I show the next tape
drive nst1?
/dev/nst0
bash-2.04$ amcheck /

will it not move the tape?

amlabel output - I only have two drives 0 and 2!!!
bash-2.04$ amlabel / DailySet-02 slot 3

I am using a generic TAPE DEVICE in amanda.conf:
define tapetype Quantum-DLT {
comment "Generic values"
length 40000 mbytes
filemark 8 kbytes
speed 4000 kbytes
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single r
tpchanger "chg-scsi" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile "/etc/amanda/chg-scsi-linux.conf"
bash-2.04$ cat chg-scsi-linux.conf
number_configs 1
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 90 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 100 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev /dev/sg2
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/nst0 #/dev/nst0
scsitapedev /dev/sg2
startuse 1 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 29 #
statfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-slot # The file where the
actual
slot is stored
#cleancart 5 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0
is
located
cleanfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-clean # The file where the
cleanin
gs are recorded
usagecount /etc/amanda/DailySet1/totaltime
tapestatus /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapestatus # here will some status
infos
be stored
#labelfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/labelfile # Use this if you have an

Does anyone use the 29 tape Adeptec jukebox? Perhaps find the
correct changer.conf file I'll be ok??
Thanks!
