thanks. i have applied it but now i get the following errors:
[ernest@oshe root]$ amtape oshe reset
amtape: could not reset changer: no slots available
My amanda.conf has the following:
#--------
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run
of
amdump
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/nst0" # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/oshe/chg-zd-mtx"
#changerfile "/usr/adm/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status"
#changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/nst0"
maxdumpsize -1 # Maximum number of bytes the planner will
schedule
# for a run (default: runtapes * tape_length).
tapetype HP-Ultrium
[...]
My chg-zd-mtx file has the following:
firstslot=1 #### First storage slot (element) -- required
lastslot=8 #### Last storage slot (element) -- required
cleanslot=-1 #### Slot with cleaner tape -- default is "-1"
#### Set negative to indicate no cleaner
available
autoclean=0 #### Set to '1' or greater to enable
autocleancount=99 #### Number of access before a clean.
havereader=1 #### If you have a barcode reader, set to 1.
offline_before_unload=1 #### Does your robot require an
#### 'mt offline' before mtx unload?
driveslot=0 #### Drive slot number. Defaults to the
#### tape device number (e.g. /dev/nst0 is
#### assumed to be robot drive 0).
poll_drive_ready=3 #### Time (seconds) between tests to see if
#### the tape drive has gone ready (default: 3).
max_drive_wait=120 #### Maximum time (seconds) to wait for the
#### tape drive to become ready (default: 120).
I have a Dell PowerVault 112T-LTO 8-slot autoloader.
Please advise why amtape show returns :
"amtape: could not reset changer: no slots available"
kind regards,
ernest.
