Re: ERROR: no tape online
2002-09-27 15:52:58
OTOH, I cheerfully build and install every snapshot Jean-Louis puts
up on his site, and a lot has been "smoothed up" in the current
2.4.3b4 snapshots. I might be worth the effort, maybe even the
changer stuff works for you now, its running mine just fine.
I am thinking my issue is not related to a particular version of
AMANDA. Besides, I cannot try 3b3 of any build considering the fact
that it will not build on the Tru64 platform. So I am stuck with the
tools at hand.
*** I would think that my media changer should not be incurring
*** an I/O error after the tape was loaded and after a successful
*** amcheck confirmation.
Does anyone know what would happen if this configuration was that of
a changer? How would AMANDA/amdump/amtape proceed after that error?
Moreover, how is the changer module supposed to handle this I/O
error? What should the changer pass back to amtape on stdout/stderr?
Thanks in advance.. I hope some folks can provide some guidance and
more suggestions...
I am attempting to complete the development of a changer module for
this platform, so useful information, for these purposes, would be
very helpful...
thx!

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.
