Hello all,
It's the first time i try to setup Amanda and i'm a little confused.
I don't think i got the changer device idea right. Does the Dell
Powervault 132T Tape Library qualify as a changer device?
I thought so but the mtx command tells me otherwise:
[root@orion DailySet1]# /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/sg1 inquiry
Product Type: *Tape Drive*
Vendor ID: 'IBM '
Product ID: 'ULTRIUM-TD2 '
Revision: '37RH'
Attached Changer: No
I want to backup around 6 servers using that unit. My plans are to use
one tape for all servers per day. Is that a right approach?
Please if someone could point me in the right direction i'd be really
thankfull.
You should have an sg device for the changer mechanism itself. Here my
changer ends up being /dev/sg2 under Linux.
Cheers!
