But my computer can see only one SCSi interface - for tape device (target 4 lun 0 which belongs to DLT1). In the bootstrap fase, this SCSI interface is bound to st11. === /pci@1f,4000/scsi@2/st@4,0(st11) st11 at glm1 target 4 lun 0 === You don't see the second SCSI address because solaris (2.7) has no device driver for robot devices. One way to solve this problem is either upgrade to solaris 2.8, which has an so called sgen driver which can be used to talk to the robot device, or the secondway is to try the sst driver. You can find this driver in the contrib area of amanda. There is an short description in the contrib directory how to install it and some more notes are in docs/TAPE.CHANGERS. With this dirver installed you can either use mtx or chg-scsi. chg-scsi is included in amanda, mtx can be found on www.sourceforge.net i think. 2. Which driver is known to work well with that changer - mtx, sst or any other? What are advantages in choosing one of them? mtx is an generic driver with no special things to drive special features which some library have, chg-scsi is a driver which has some things builtin which are special for some librarys, handling of error conditions for example. 3. What is barcode - is it hardware facility, or software implementation - That is hardware. barcodes are small labels which you can stick on the tapes, and an builtin reader can read this labels. Now the software can create an relationship form the label to the volume name of the tape. With this you can load very fast a requested volume and the software must not search through the whole lib. shall I bother about it?

See in the contrib/sst directory The configuration on solaris 2.8 with the sgen driver is done by creating the file /kernel/drv/sgen.conf This file should contain at the beginning the following device-type-config-list=changer,sequential This will force the driver to attach only to the devices with type either changer (the robot) and sequential (the tape). Next you must tell the driver on which id it should check for devices (in this example tape on id 5, robot on id 6), name=sgen class=scsi target=5 lun=0; name=sgen class=scsi target=6 lun=0; This will create the 2 device files /dev/scsi/sequential/c0t5d0 (scsitapedev option in chg-scsi.conf) /dev/scsi/changer/c0t6d0(changer option in chg-scsi.conf) So the complete sgen.conf looks like: device-type-config-list=changer,sequential name=sgen class=scsi target=5 lun=0; name=sgen class=scsi target=6 lun=0; Now you must create the chg-scsi.conf file, take a look in the examples directory for an starting point. To enable chg-scsi you need the following in amanda.conf tpchanger chg-scsi# the tape-changer glue script tapedev 0 changerfile path_to_your_config/chg-scsi.conf Now change to your config directory (where amanda.conf is in) and try to call there chg-scsi path_to_chg-scsi/chg-scsi -info If you get an result you can try path_to_chg-scsi/chg-scsi -reset and see if the first tape is loaded.

ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .Tape_Ioctl
This looks like something Thomas Hepper will have to help you with.
It appears to be a general changer interface routine that is not yet
supplied for AIX.
Yup thats missing, add the following to scsi-aix.c
int Tape_Ioctl(int DeviceFD, int command)
{
return(-1);
}
Will fix this the next days...

Re: Amanda on AIX with an IBM 7337 library

At the moment, it looks like I am going to have to write my own tpchanger script. Hmm it would be nice if you can give chg-scsi from the 2.5.0 development version a try before writing an own script. To control a library you need an scsi passthrough device, which is not included in AIX (from what i know). There is an drive available for AIX. See the contrib directory in amanda 2.5.0 (contrib/gsc) I am wondering if anyone else out there is using Amanda on AIX with an IBM 7337 tape library and if there are any pitfalls, tips or tricks that I should know about ahead of time? As the current maintainer of chg-scsi i can try to help you to get chg-scsi running .

All I really need is the scsi driver to interface between amanda and the jukebox to tell the robot to pick a tape, unload a tape, etc... In addition to the comments from Chris, you might try getting the chg-scsi code from the 2.5 (development) Amanda CVS branch. Thomas Hepper appears to be actively working on it. Yup, and i'm interested in feedback for the solaris 2.8 things. So it would be great if you can try to setup chg-scsi from the 2.5.0 dev. version based on the description in docs/TAPE-CHANGERS. To get it download the 2.5.0 amanda version with cvs, configure and compile it, but don't install it. Only copy chg-scsi from changer-src to the place where the old chg-scsi is installed, if your configure prefix is /usr/local it should be /usr/local/libexec/chg-scsi.

Specifically, even though I've recompiled amanda with the changer device (/dev/sg/2) defined, no amanda tape utils can find the changer. Hmm, can you give some more Infos, whcih OS, which amanda-version I can run it just fine with mtx. Also, it seem every version of the scripts in changer-src has their own idea of where the config files should be, can't this be consolidated, I've now got amanda stuffs in 8 or 9 different directories! Ups, the syntax might be different, but you can keep all config files in one directory .. The changer is a Seagate 4586NP, brand new, and I sure could use some hand-holding till I get the feel of how and what this program is doing. OK lets try it. If you have a linux/bsd system you can try to get the development version of amanda 2.5.0 and use the chg-scsi prgramm from there. (this version is available through CVS, see www.amanda.org) After compiling but not installaing this version you can try to run cd to_your_amanda_conifg_directory /path_to_the_source/changer-src/chg-scsi -genconf If this works you can copy the chg-scsi version to your libexec directory, save the ouput from the above in a file chg-scsi.conf, and add the following to amanda.conf tpchanger chg-scsi# the tape-changer glue script tapedev 0 changerfile /path_to_your_config/chg-scsi.conf remove everything like changerdev, tapedev from the amanda.conf No you can try to get a known state for the robot amtape reset and write a label amlabel conf xxx slot current (xxx must be a valid label name) Hope this helps a little bit Thomas -- --- | Thomas Hepper[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | ( If the above address fail try ) | | ( [EMAIL PROTECTED])| ---
Re: Can load but can't eject tapes...

Thanks, but it did't work..
I get this error everytime : DeviceCapabilitiesPage: == NULL
This is an known problem in the 2.4.2 Version. Can you try to get amanda 2.5.0
(develoment version) with cvs, compile it and use only the chg-scsi from there
And it dosn't say anything.. In the debug file i cannot find anything weird...
But there is an error code 70.. Can anyone tell me what this means ?
Thats not the real problem. chg-scsi needs the information from the mode sense
page to decide how to move, if this fails chg-scsi will stop. There
are some fixes in the 2.5.0 version to try to get this information with
an alternate way, and it works at last on AIX with an SONY changer.
So give it a try.
Also you can try to comment out this line (~ line 2894 in scsi-changer-driver)
} else {
dbprintf((CheckMove : pDeviceCapabilitiesPage == NULL));
/*
ChgExit(CheckMove, DeviceCapabilitiesPage == NULL, FATAL);
*/
}

Re: DELL 120T changer on RH 6.2

Taper is running as /dev/nst0, seems to be OK - at least it make some noise . But I couldn't find any way to get the changer working. I used /dev/sch0, /dev/sg*(means sg0-sg3) devices, with no respond. Last time I set it to /dev/sga, and it doesn't give error messages, but I can't force it to do any operation with tapes. Does anybody have PV120T changer working under RH linux ? No changer but may be i can help you if you give some more infos. Which programm did you try for controlling the changer ?, Thomas
Re: Newbie question (linux + ADIC FastStor 7000)
Hi, I have a Slack 7.1 (2.2.18) setup with an Adic 7000 22-tape library. Did a clean make and install and am trying to get the tape controller to work. Should I be using chg-scsi or chg-zd-mtx? chg-scsi doesn't seem to like all 22 of the media slots ( see below -- note the "-1" on slots 8,9,10 ). Plus, it hasn't been loading the correct elements. Ie. "slot 19" gives me slot 2 instead... etc. etc... I think I should be changing to zd-mtx, yes? Hmm not sure about this. The -1 tells that the library has no idea from where this cartridge comes, so its not an problem, its only an info. What do you mean with slot 19 gives me slot 2 ??? So what are the problems you have :-), does chg-scsi move the tapes, did amtape show work etc, Thomas
Re: Can you set eject keyword with chg-chio?
Hi, Ultimately, chg-scsi would be the preferred changer. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to build on FreeBSD since the introduction of CAM and the subsequent (much later) removal of the older SCSI subsystem. I think I'll dig out the Adic and see if I can get chg-scsi working sometime. Hmm thats not true for the 2.5 development version. You can try to build the 2.5 version and use only chg-scsi from there in your setup. Thomas
