ERROR: no tape online
2002-09-26 21:07:23
I need some suggestions from the community... I am trying to debug a
problem however I am not sure how/where to look for more clues.
I am open to any and all comments anyone has time to express.
... and thanks!!
The issue is when amdump is run, something weird happens
with the tape causing AMANDA to go into degraded mode... leaving the
backups on the holding disk.
I have an AIT2 tape media robot (Compaq SSL2020) driven by
the software called Media Robot Utility v1.5
I have been performing the role of the changer glue manually whenever I
run actual backups... The AMANDA configuration is not configured as a
tape changer at present.
This last run had a problem... Here is some information about it:
### ### ###
Initially I ran the amcheck to remind myself of what tape was next...
$ amcheck DailySet2
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /net/redeye/holding/amanda: 177292000 KB disk space available,
that's plenty
ERROR: /dev/ntape/tape0: no tape online
(expecting tape DailySet2-10 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 119.557 seconds
### ### ###
Cool.. that's slot 9!
$ robot load slot 9
LOADING SLOT 9 into DRIVE 0 using ROBOT /dev/changer/mc0.
### ### ###
$ nohup amdump DailySet2 &
output of amdump sent via e-mail and presented below...
### ### ###
$ robot unload slot 9
ROBOT /dev/changer/mc0 is not responding: I/O error.
Hmmmm....... not good...
${?} = 64 but Compaq does not
provide the damn info. F*ckers.
### ### ###
$ robot unload slot 9
UNLOAD DRIVE 0 into SLOT 9 using ROBOT /dev/changer/mc0.
tape successfully unloaded
=============================================
Output of amdump:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [no tape online].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet2-10.
