Thanks Nathan... I have tried the command line without any -o options:
|/usr/sbin/amvault --latest-fulls --dest-storage "HP G2 Robot" vtl
|
Now the response is "FATAL amvault no 'tape-device' property specified"
which doesn't make sense to me, since the storage definition includes a
tapedev string.
|/define changer "HP G2" {//
// tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/LTOchanger"//
// property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/nst0"//
// property "use-slots" "1-7"//
// property "load-poll" "13s poll 5s"//
// device-property "LEOM" "TRUE" //
//}/
...
define storage "HP G2 Robot" {||
|| tapedev "HP G2"||
|| tapetype "LTO2"||
|| tapepool "$r"||
|| tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/LTOchanger"||
|| labelstr "Vault-[1-7]"||
|| autolabel "Vault-%" any||
||}|
Nevertheless, if I manually specify a tapedev in the amvault command line
|/usr/sbin/amvault -otapedev='HP G2' --latest-fulls --dest-storage
"HP G2 Robot" vtl
|
/Now/ I see the robot cycling through tapes to no avail (progress?),
finally going through the cleaning slot, but... well here is the logfile:|

Obvious oddities:
1. "|device in error: Can't open tape device HP G2: No such file or
directory"?|
2. "|driver fake driver finish"? |
