Hi,
first: please keep this task on the list, it gives other people the
posibility to jump in and correct me if i tell you something wrong....

I guess this is a scsi-tapechanger, correct? then you have a few
possibilities to get the robot moving:

chg-scsi, mtx, and possibly more, i don't know all the free available tools to make tape robots move, espacialy for solaris as i am using

linux on all my servers and i opperate my tapechanger all with chg-scsi.

so now we are at the point where one of the solaris-people here on the
list should jump in to help you further, but the need a little more info
on your problem likthe exact type of your changer, which version of
amanda you use, if you compiled it your self etc.

Thanks, that is a big help! I'll switch to another script and see what happens.

Do you know if Amanda can move the robot?? Currently, the only software we have works through a webpage.

Thanks,

Hi,
You have configured amanda to use chg-multi as changer script.
i don't think this is what you want. chg-multi is used with
multiple tapedrives to form a virtual tape-robot.
use one of the other chg-scripts, depending on which software
you use to move your robot.

I have amanda installed when I run the following command as the user amanda

/usr/local/sbin/amverify DailySet1 0

I get this:

If anyone can lend a hand with how they configured their L200, that would be greatly appreciated.
