The changerfile is a generic name. The choices are chg-scsi, chg-mtx,
etc etc.
These changerfiles can contain more than one config section so that
its possible to describe 2 or more changers to the amanda system.
In the amanda src dir is an example directory, take a look around in
there for suitable file and modify it, after moveing it to the same
dir the rest of the stuff like your amanda.conf is in to fit your
situation. I'd lean toward using the chg-mtx since you already know
mtx can run it. chg-scsi could also be used, but it has trouble
doing a rewind when it needs to, or did the last time I used it,
forceing me to write some wrapper stuff that was never entirely
satisfactory.
Humm, and then I go looking in the latest builds examples directory to
make sure I know what I'm talking about, and chg-mtx seems to have
been removed. Anybody know why?
It is however, present in the changer-src directory, so I'd assume its
still usable by writing your own based on one of the others.
At any rate, one of the remaining ones should be useable. The list
now looks like:
3hole.ps chg-scsi-hpux.con EXB-8500.ps
8.5x11.ps chg-mcutil.conf config.site
HP-DAT.ps amanda.conf chg-scsi-linux.conf
DIN-A4.ps Makefile amanda.conf.chg-scsi
chg-multi.conf disklist chg-scsi.conf
chg-scsi-solaris.conf DLT.ps
The .ps files are the drivers for a nightly printout, the DAT file
outputting a very tiny font and form that all fits in a DAT casette
case but it also carries paper debris into the tapes, potentially
causeing failures so I use the 3hole.ps version and do not store the
printout with the (now non-existent, using vtapes instead) tape.
