First thing is to increase the number_configs below
-----------------------my chg.scsi.conf------
number_configs 1
eject 0 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 15 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 100 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
scsitapedev /dev/sg0 # test entry per Jean-Louis request
changerdev /dev/sg1
#
# 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
-------------------
Then append:
config 1
drivenum 1
etc
etc...
This is for a chg-scsi.conf system, but I'd think that chg-zd-mtx
should behave similarly. If not, then you might want to take a look
at chg-scsi. Its running a small (DDS2) single drive equipt changer
here.
