I am new to Amanda, using Amanda-2.4.4p1 on Debian linux systems. I have an Overland Loader Express with an LTO-II drive and 11 slots. Ive just run a backup but it wouldnt change tapes automatically. It stopped the process after it got to the end of tape1. amflush wont change tapes either. I think I have confifured amanda.conf correctly to do this. I can use chg-zd-mtz to manipulate the robot and amtape as well to load tapes from particular slots to the current drive etc. The drive is in random mode. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Here are the relevant portions: amanda.conf runtapes 4 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump tpchanger "/usr/local/amanda/libexec/chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used rawtapedev "/dev/nst0" # the raw device to be used (ftape only) changerfile "/usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/astro/changer" #changerfile "/usr/adm/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status" #changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf" changerdev "/dev/sg2" Heres changer.conf firstslot=1 lastslot=11 cleanslot=-1 driveslot=0 autoclean=0 autocleancount=99 havereader=0 offline_before_unload=0 poll_drive_ready=3 max_drive_wait=120 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shashi Kanbur [EMAIL PROTECTED] Five College Astronomy Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 USA (413) 577 0470 (413) 545 4223 (Fax)
