Tapetype for Onstream ADR^2 120 and ADR50

Hi All,

As requested in one of the FAQ's I hereby post the tapetype output of my
new OnStream ADR^2 120 G drive.

This is a SCSI-LVD drive with 60G native capacity, used on a RedHat 7.2
machine with the standard
RedHat provided amanda RPM's. It works like a charm.

I also use an ADR50 drive, which operates fine as long as there is no
tape in it during the actual backup.
(Everything is backed up to holdingdisk first). In the morning I stick a
tape in and run amflush
and amverify. The 120G drive doesn't need this workaround.

Adapter Configuration:
 SCSI Adapter: Adaptec AIC-7892 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter
 Ultra-160/m LVD/SE Wide Controller at PCI 0/14/0
(Adaptec 29160)

I use stinit to initialize both drives at boot-up time. For
completeness, I post the stinit.def scripts as well.
It is called at the end of rc.local. (man stinit)

If you have any questions, please mail me at edwin AT xic DOT nl

I'll try to put this in the FAQ-O-Matic as well.
Regards,
