Hi Chris Much appreciated - just gave that a whirl now I can see both tapes!
~]$ amtape Config show amtape: scanning all 8 slots in changer: slot 1: date 20151103132545 label MyData01 slot 2: date 20151109111617 label MyData01 I notice use-slots is set to 1-12... is that because you have both LHS and RHS tape magazines? I'll probably try to leave the profiler going for the HP LTO6 on Friday before going home. thanks David -------------------- David Simpson - Computing Support Officer IBME - Institute of Biomedical Engineering Old Road Campus Research Building Oxford, OX3 7DQ Tel: 01865 617697 ext: 17697 -----Original Message----- From: Chris Nighswonger [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 November 2015 14:03 To: David Simpson <[email protected]> Cc: Amanda Users <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Quantum Superloader 3 - configuration Hi David, We run a Superloader 3 with an LTO4 drive. Here are some snips from my amanda.conf: define tapetype LTO-4 { length 794405408 kbytes filemark 1385 kbytes speed 77291 kps blocksize 32 kbytes } define changer Quantum-Superloader3-LTO-V4 { tapedev "chg-robot:/dev/sg3" property "use-slots" "1-12" property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/st0" device-property "LEOM" "TRUE" } This is running on Ubuntu 13.04. I ended up using amtapetype due to not being able to locate a tape definition. Someday I'll add it to the wiki.
