Host Question on tape advancment
2003-08-04 13:57:47
Here;s the question:
Should amanda be advancing the tape every time it runs amcheck like this?
in my changer, tapes 1-30 are amanda labeled tapes
(background I have a 80 slot tape changer.)
My amcheck Host says:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dump: 8972115 KB disk space available, that's plenty
amcheck-server: slot 39: tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/rmt/1bn: I/O error
amcheck-server: fatal slot 40: slot 40 move failed
ERROR: new tape not found in rack
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 37.245 seconds
here's a snippet from my chg-scsi file
(I know, I've been told to move to chg-mtx, but I'm not sure of it yet...)
#: orginal example scsi.conf
number_configs 3
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 5 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 15 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev /dev/scsi/changer/c1t0d0
#
# first comes the data for drive 0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/rmt/0bn # tapedrive 1 (BSD type, no rewind, no
compression)
startuse 1 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 81 #
statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape0-slot # The file
where the actual slot is stored
cleancart 0 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is
located
cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape0-clean # The file
where the cleanings are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/totaltime-drive0
# Next comes the data for drive 1
config 1
drivenum 1
dev /dev/rmt/1bn # tapedrive 1 (BSD type, no rewind, no
compression)
startuse 1 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 81 #
statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape1-slot # The file
where the actual slot is stored
cleancart 0 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 1 is
located
cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape1-clean # The file
where the cleanings are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/totaltime-drive1
# Next comes the data for drive 2
config 2
drivenum 2
dev /dev/rmt/2bn # tapedrive 2 (BSD type, no rewind, no
compression)
startuse 1 # The slots associated with the drive 2
enduse 81 #
statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape2-slot # The file
where the actual slot is stored
cleancart 0 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 2 is
located
cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/tape2-clean # The file
where the cleanings are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/logs/totaltime-drive2
and from amanda.conf:
runtapes 2 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-scsi" # the tape-changer glue script
#tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "1" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
# note (mb) the 1 refers to config # 1 within scsi.conf
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/chg-scsi.conf"
