The system doesn't seem to think this is a tape robot. Do you have
the right sg##?
Has it ever worked? Or are you just installing it?
I don't have your particular type of library (apparently an Overland?),
and I'm on Solaris rather than Linux, but . . .
Typically, you would have to install the driver for your tape drive and
also the driver for your changer. That might mean editing the driver
files to give them the right parameters, which can be dicey, but the
vendor should provide details so that it is just following their
directions (backup the device files before editing them!!). On Solaris
there would be a reconfigure reboot after that. Then mtx would work.
However, be sure you understand that the /dev/sg13 that you might give
to mt or tapeinfo is not the same as the changer device that you would
give mtx. So, for example, on my Solaris systems, I might have `mt -f
/dev/rmt/1n`, whereas, mtx would be `mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c2t0d0
status`.
Check `man mtx`, or go to http://linux.die.net/man/1/mtx. See the
section on how to find your changer device.
