Hi,

I have a StorEdge L7 on an E220R running Solaris9.
I have configured Solaris9 with sgen and mtx and chg-zd-mtx
mtx is working
chg-zd-mtx is also working

The relevant entries in amanda.conf are:

changerdev "/dev/scsi/changer/c2t1d0"
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"  # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/rmt/1n"   # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/chg-zd-mtx"
tapetype DLT8000                

The conf file for chg-zd-mtx is:
/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/chg-zd-mtx.conf

Note that the changerfile entry in amanda.conf does not have the ".conf" 
suffix, as per the document in the chg-zd-mtx script ... and it is the only 
way to get chg-zd-mtx working.

However, when I do amlabel, I get:

$ amlabel Daily Daily001
amlabel: could not load slot "current": changerfile must be specified in 
amanda.conf



Regards,

John
