Hi All,

I have been using a LT04 Tape for backup. And now I received a new LT04
Quantum Superloader.

I am trying to get it working but it is not.

My config is as follows,

amanda.conf

runtapes 2
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"
changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/sg0"
tapetype LTO-4
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
labelstr "^CLN14[1-2]L2*$"
amrecover_changer "chg-zd-mtx"


changer.conf

eject > 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 10 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 10
havebarcode 1
havereader=1
offline_before_unload=1
offlinestatus=1
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=1


root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# mtx -f /dev/sg2 status

     Storage Element 13:Empty
     Storage Element 14:Empty
     Storage Element 15:Empty
     Storage Element 16:Empty


Anyone has an idea, what is wrong.

Thanks
Prashant


Prashant,

What exactly does not work?

And you do know you're probably working with only cleaning tapes?
Usually the cleaning tapes get a label 'CLN'. Please make sure there are 'normal' tapes in the drive..


Angelo.
