Craig, Great, I see from the other messages that you made a lot of progress. Don't know if you've worked with changers before, the mtx config file in the amanda config directory has been updated to reflect the number and ids of the tape drives and the correct number of slots and all ?
Mine looks like this [nnewton]: /usr/local/etc/amanda/ninfo > cat chg-zd-mtx.conf firstslot=1 lastslot=9 #cleanslot=3 AUTOCLEAN=0 autocleancount=99 havereader=1 offlinestatus=0 OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0 max_drive_wait=500 driveslot=0 Are you using amdump commands for further testing or are you using the amtape command ?
