Re: Question: ADIC DAT-Changer very slow

I'd like to interject one item...if your chg-scsi trial doesn't fix the
issue, you may want to look at your SCSI controller. You mentioned that
you have an Adaptec 2940 while Chris is using a 7890/91...that could be
part of the equation as well.

Hello!
I am very new to AMANDA (I started using it yesterday :-). However, I managed
to get the configuration done and all seems to work fine, thanks especially
to the great online manuals I found.
I am using version 2.4.2p2 on Linux (SuSE 6.4, Kernel 2.2.14) with an ADIC
1200 DAT-Changer (12 slots) connected to an Adaptec 2940 SCSI host adapter. I
configured the chg-scsi changer configuration using the chg-scsi-linux.conf
as a template.
Although it can control the changer and read/write to the connected HP DAT
tape there remains one problem: The DAT changer needs a very long time (10
minutes!) to change tapes. In the chg-scsi debug output I usually get a lot
of "not ready" messages like this:
<-- CUT -->
##### START GenericSenseHandler
##### START DecodeSense
GenericSenseHandler : Sense Keys
ErrorCode 70
Valid 0
ASC 3A
ASCQ 00
Sense key 02
Not Ready
GenericSenseHandler : NOT_READY ASC = 3a ASCQ = 0
#### STOP SenseHandler
<-- CUT -->
Then, at some point, I get the following message:
<-- CUT -->
#### STOP SenseHandler
GenericEject : Ready after 600 sec, true = 1
##### STOP eject_tape [0]
###### START unload
unload : fd 3, slot 3, drive 0
unload : unload drive 0[2] slot 3[6]
##### START GenericMove
GenericMove : from = 2, to = 6
<-- CUT -->
It then finally takes the tape back into its slot and tries to load the next
one. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!
Regards, Stefan.
