Sounds like you need to get the chg-<insert_option> working first.

have a look at the docs in the tape-changer directory.

Hello

I did lots of reading manuals and mailing lists but still not
succeeded in having amanda talk to the changer.

Config:
amanda 2.4.3
solaris 2.6
HP surestore C1557A (12000e)

Previous installation of Soltice jukebox uses '/dev/lus'. But
amanda cannot use it.

*******
/dev/lus ->
../devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@3/SUNW,isptwo@4/lus@0,0:0

[pbrazor1]/export/home/amanda$ amtape Daily show
amtape: could not get changer info: open: /dev/lus: Bad file
number *******

There is only 1 device in rmt '/dev/rmt/0...' .
Installation test-routine of the changer software says:

********
[pbrazor1]/etc/LGTOuscsi$ ./inquire
[email protected]:FUJITSU MAB3091S SUN9.0G1806|Disk,
/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s2 [email protected]:HP C1557A U709|Tape,
/dev/rmt/0mbn
[email protected]:HP C1557A U709|Autochanger (Jukebox)

/dev/rmt/0mbn -> ../../devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2,1/st@4,0:mbn
********

But there is no 'st@4,1....' either.

So which software do I need to install or what configuration is
needed?

Thanks for any help

I don't believe this is an amanda problem, but a solaris kernel problem. Unforch, I'll leave the definitive solaris answers to Jon.

If its anything like linux, then you should find the correct device in the /var/log/dmesg (or whatever solaris calls it) file. If its not there, the next question is, is solaris doing a 'scan all luns' on boot, I believe it must in order to find the changer robot since many of them are located at the same bus address as the drive itself, but at a higher Logical Unit Number, aka 'lun'. For a linux kernel, this must be turned on in the kernel config and the kernel rebuilt as it doesn't default to on.
