Re: Continuing after "No acceptable volumes found"

[Jean-Louis Martineau]

I would like to understand why it didn't use slot 14.
Can you send me the complete taper debug file?
I would like to see what it did the first time it read the slot 14.

After the update, the taper should load the slot, you should see
it in the taper debug file.

Re: Continuing after "No acceptable volumes found"

[Jean-Louis Martineau]

I do not understand why it doesn't want to use the tapes.

Can you try the following: (If you agree amanda can overwrite 000114L7
amrmtape WeeklySet1 --keep-label 000114L7
amatpe WeeklySet1 update 14=

After the update, the taper should load the slot, you should see it in 
the taper debug file.

So in /var/lib/amanda/CONFIG I do not see taper logs. I'll figure out why..

touching the file regenerates the email so it's looking at the file. I ran

amtape WeeklySet1 update 14-21=

no change.

Lots of helpful info here, thanks guys.

You mean it just sends repeatedly sends new email messages? 

The line at the bottom of each message should tell you want it is
waiting for, and i.e. the time stamp mentioned in that message should
change if you make any changes to the file.

Assume that it is monitoring the email_input file as expected, I belive
the fact that the dump hasn't proceeded implies that the taper doesn't
actually think it has an acceptable tape.  You may find some hints
regarding that problem in the taper.*.debug file.

How the interactivity is configured?
Which taperscan are you using?
What happen if you 'touch /tmp/email_input'?
Post the taper debug files.

Are you sure you have a tape amanda can use in the changer?
Post the output of 'amtape CONFIG inventory'

no holding disk, backing up 48TB.

What version of Amanda are you running (on the server)?

Do you have a holding disk configured?  If so, normally
Amanda will go
ahead and dump the remaining DLEs there before aborting, and
you can
then flush those dumps to the next tape with "amflush".  (The
emailed
Amanda report would have some hints about what exactly happened.)

How the interactivity is configured?
Which taperscan are you using?
What happen if you 'touch /tmp/email_input'?
Post the taper debug files.

Are you sure you have a tape amanda can use in the changer?
Post the output of 'amtape CONFIG inventory'

Jean-Louis



no holding disk, backing up 48TB.

Greg

What version of Amanda are you running (on the server)?

Do you have a holding disk configured?  If so, normally Amanda will go
ahead and dump the remaining DLEs there before aborting, and you can
then flush those dumps to the next tape with "amflush". (The emailed
Amanda report would have some hints about what exactly happened.)

running 3.4.5 and interactivity is set up but whatever I do to the
/tmp/email_input file just recreates the message. I'm pretty sure if I put
abort in there it will abort but I don't want to abort unless there is no
choice.

no holding disk, backing up 48TB.

Thanks,
Greg

There is no way to continue the current run.

But for the future run, you can add an interactivity, and amanda will 
ask you what to do if doesn't find a volume to write to.
