was: amlabel- couldnt load slot 1
2003-07-21 16:42:49
I just came across this message with a Eureaka moment
I thought Config (as discussed in chg-scsi and chg-multi) was only referenced
there, but apparently
I discovered that putting a tapedev 1 in my amanda.conf actually pulls it from
the 2nd tape drive (andthe FIRST configuration MUST (I think) be zero, [not
one].

You have provided little information which with to assist you.
Here is a suggested approach. Amanda is set up in layers,
going from a simpler, single task program to more complex,
multi-task programs. These programs may be from amanda or
from the system. Each may use one or more configuration files.
For example, in my amanda setup some of the layers might include:
Command Purpose Config File
mt or ammt manipulate tape none or amanda.conf for tape dev
mtx manipulate changer none
chg-mtx interface to mtx amanda.conf and changer.conf
amtape interface to mt/mtx amanda.conf and changer.conf
amdump, amrestore, amrecover, amcheck,
amlabel, ... various tasks all the above and more
You have in your config a similar stack but with chg-multi and ???
But I suspect you have not tested and debugged all the layers leading
up to the amlabel/amdump layer. To simplify your debugging you should
test and exercise all the lower layer commands before tackling the more
complex commands.
