Hi,
I have a brand new Amanda server, that uses virtual tapes.
My virtual tapes are set on external hard disks, but I can only
physically connect one disk at a time.
I uses runtapes 5.
So I can end up in a situation where I have 2 vtapes left one a disk,
and where I must change disk in the
I use
tpchanger chg-disk# VTAPES the tape-changer glue script
# This changer script is based on a directory structure like:
# slot_root_dir -|
# |- info
# |- data - slot1
# |- slot1
# |- slot2
#
Hi Gerrit,
I use
tpchanger chg-disk# VTAPES the tape-changer glue script
So do I, for the n first vtapes in the first disk, but chg-disk cannot
access the vtapes n+1 t0 2n that are on the second disk: this second
disk should be manually loaded first.

Does it exist a changer that allow the manual change of a caroussel,
so I don't have to redesign everything from scratch? (I mean the
Amanda phylosophy, not the exact way to load/eject a caroussel or
mout/unmout a disk).

Oliver,
The simple answer is to use chg-manual, which waits for operator intervention.
You will have to adjust a symlink as well as the disk connections.
If it is possible to script the disk switch, you should be able to write a
changer script that does what you want.
