My conf (the relevant parts)
tpchanger "robot"
define changer robot {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/XXXX/changer-state"
property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/nst0"
property "eject-before-unload" "no"
property "use-slots" "1-100"
property "load-poll" "0s poll 3s until 120s"
}
amrecover_changer "/dev/changer"
and /dev/changer is a sym link to /dev/sg11
So let me explain what is /dev/sg11 ... this is the device that
allows the manipulation and see the tapes and drives of the
robot, for example can be used with the command mtx
$ mtx -f /dev/sg11 status
Cheers,
Nuno
