Hi,
My
question kinda goes along with what Chris Bourne asked earlier
yesterday:
I have
an STK 9730 jukebox. Running amanda on Solaris 2.6.
In my
amanda.conf file, I specify chg-scsi as my Built In Tape Changer as specified by
share/TAPE.CHANGERS.
As far
as I can see, the configs for chg-scsi is similar to
chg-scsi-chio.
So, in
order for chg-scsi to understand ''changerfile'' as more than just a ''slot
counting'' file, I specify my ''tapedev'' as a ''0''.
When I
try to ''amdump'', I see this error in my amdump.1 log file:
amdump.3:driver: result time 12.873 from taper: TAPE-ERROR [tape_rdlabel:
tape open: 0: No such file or directory]
So I
change the ''tapedev'' entry in amanda.conf back to
/dev/rmt/2bn
Then
amdump works just fine.
Okay
great, now I wish to run ''amlabel'' in order to relabel the tape to test
out ''amdump'' a bit more.
$
amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet10826 slot 1
amlabel: could not load
slot "1": check your config and use an config file for
chg-scsi
Slot 1
does indeed correspond with /dev/rmt/2bn
So in
order to run ''amlabel'' I gotta specify my ''tapedev'' as
'0'.......and
in
order to run ''amdump'' I gotta specify my ''tapedev'' as
/dev/rmt/2bn
I am
assuming that the ''changerdev'' is the /dev pathname for the robotic
arm.
I know
if the changer script I am using were ''chg-mtx'' as opposed to chg-scsi,
then
I
would likely specify ''chagerdev'' the same as ''tapedev''.
What
am I doing wrong here?
Should
I switch changer scripts, maybe to chg-scsi-chio??
I have
included, the errors I get in the log, and portions of my amanda.conf file
and scsi-chg.conf files
thanks,
Rich

Hello,
I need help with figuring out why
amanda is giving me these errors. First off I am using Sony 20/40G dgd 150p
tapes on a Dell powervault 120T DDS-4 autoloader on RedHat 7.2. I am using a
chg-scsi config..
I was getting this error message.
amcheck-server: could not get changer info: specify a number as
tape_device [0-9]
Does anyone know what it means??? So I changed the
tapedev in amada.conf from "/dev/nst0" to just "0" and I no longer get the
specify a number as tape_device [0-9] part
anymore. Now I get ..........
bash-2.05$ /usr/sbin/amtape DailySet1 label DailySet101
amtape:
scanning for tape with label DailySet101
amtape: could not get changer
info: open: /dev/sg1: Success
I am really confused about how this whole tape
changer stuff works. I don't understand how amanda will find the tapes if
tapedev is set to "0" or how to get these tapes to just rotate nightly. Any
help thanks,
Chris Bourne
