Just got amanda configured on a raidzone
but I don't think the changer file is correct
as it will not load tapes from the 29 storage
elements.

Do I have to label every tape before it will
move them form storage?

I am using linux REDHAT 7.1 on a raidzone.

The tape jukebox I am using is a Adaptec   29 tape
carousel with two DLT Quantum Tape drives. 


Here is the output:

bash-2.04$    amtape / current
amtape: scanning current slot in tape-changer rack
slot 0: date 20030729 label DailySet-02

bash-2.04$ amtape / device    <--------------how do I show the next tape
drive nst1?
/dev/nst0

bash-2.04$ amcheck /

amlabel output  - I only have two drives 0 and 2!!!

bash-2.04$ amlabel / DailySet-02 slot 3
amlabel: label DailySet-02 already on a tape

bash-2.04$ amlabel / DailySet-02 slot 4
amlabel: label DailySet-02 already on a tape

bash-2.04$ amlabel / DailySet-02 slot  30
amlabel: label DailySet-02 already on a tape

bash-2.04$ amlabel / DailySet-02 slot  99
amlabel: label DailySet-02 already on a tape



I am using a generic TAPE DEVICE in amanda.conf:


define tapetype Quantum-DLT {
    comment "Generic values"
    length 40000 mbytes
    filemark 8 kbytes
    speed 4000 kbytes

runtapes 1              # number of tapes to be used in a single r
tpchanger "chg-scsi"    # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "0"     # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile "/etc/amanda/chg-scsi-linux.conf"


bash-2.04$ cat chg-scsi-linux.conf
number_configs  1
eject           1       # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep           90      # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax        100     # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev      /dev/sg2
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#

startuse        1       # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse          29              #
statfile        /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-slot  # The file where the
actual
slot is stored
#cleancart      5       # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0
is
located
cleanfile       /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-clean # The file where the

gs are recorded
usagecount      /etc/amanda/DailySet1/totaltime
tapestatus      /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapestatus # here will some status
infos
 be stored
#labelfile      /etc/amanda/DailySet1/labelfile # Use this if you have an

Does anyone use the 29 tape Adeptec jukebox? Perhaps find the 
correct changer.conf file I'll be ok??

Thanks!
