Has anyone had any experience running Amanda with the Exabyte VXA-2 PacketLoader?
The changer device can be controlled with the mtx program, tape drive seems to be a common VXA2/V23 device on which mt and tar can be used. Amtapetype yields unusable results for the tape length and a filemark size of 0, though.
I�m just now trying to set up amanda with the Packetloader, getting an error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/sbin/amlabel condor condor-01 slot 1
amlabel: could not load slot "1": changerdev (/dev/null) may not be the null device
The config file for the changer (chg-zd-mtx) is as follows:
number_configs 1
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 60 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 20 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev /dev/sg1
#
# 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 9 #
statfile /var/lib/amanda/tape-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored
cleancart 10 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located
cleanfile /var/lib/amanda/tape-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded
usagecount /var/lib/amanda/totaltime
# # This is the end
Any ideas? The �changerdev� is set to /dev/sg1, but amanda seems to think it is /dev/null? Why?
