I've got amanda running on solaris 8 on a Sun E220R, and the backups have worked on and off for months(I didn't configure this originally). The problem I'm having is that we've got 4 standalone drives attached to the server, scsi DAT drives, and the tapes are loaded but amtape cannot find the tapes in the drives. All 4 tape drives show up(/dev/rmt/0ubn, 1ubn, 2ubn, 3ubn) in the search, they are in my amanda.conf. Also during previous backups, it would only use one tape and fail on the dump, even though it should look for the 4 tapes that are loaded.
I must be having some sort of configuration problem. Anyone have an idea, or if I need to give more information? Here's a sample of a failed dump. The partition in question here is 10GB, am I not erasing/cleaning the tapes correctly, and why isn't it finding the other 3 tapes in the other drives? These dumps were to tape ST020. *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[label ST003 or new tape not found in rack]]. Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next 4 tapes Amanda expects to used are: ST003, ST000, ST001, ST002. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: twdbs001 /home lev 1 FAILED [out of tape] Thanks in advance, Adam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
