The *real* tapedev(ice) is specified in chg-scsi.conf, here in
amanda.conf, the proper useage is a number from 0 to whatever, that
represents the index number of the configurations present in
chg-scsi.conf. It can contain more than one set of specs, and you
must specify here, which it is to use from the (possible) choices in
chg-scsi.conf.
As I only have one config spelled out in chg-scsi.conf, it is tapedev
"0" in my amanda.conf.
Likewise, and as it clearly says, define only one, so the rawtapedev
line, the whole thing should be commented out. Ditto for changerdev,
that also is properly spec'd in chg-scsi.conf, in the configuration
number referenced above.
chg-scsi.conf should start out resembling this:
-------------------------
number_configs 1
eject 0 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 13 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 100 # How many times could a cleaning tape be used
------------------
Then each of these 'configurations' in chg-scsi.conf will look
something like this, bearing in mind mine is a linux box so the
devices shown are 'linux' devices
--------------
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/nst0 # the device that is used for the
tapedrive 0
startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 3 #
statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape-slot # The file where the
actual slot is stored
#cleancart 3 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for
drive 0 is located
#cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape-clean # The file where the
cleanings are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/totaltime
# This is the end
---------------
The next one would start out as 'config 1' etc..
