I have been trying to get amanda setup on our network, but have not
been having much luck. We are running FreeBSD 4.9 with Amanda 2.4.4
and a ATL PowerStor L200 Library with a DLT7000 drive. I have gone
through the amanda.conf and chg-scsi.conf files over and over but can't
seem to get things working. Here is the error message I get when I try
the amlabel command:
amlabel: could not load slot "0": check your config and use a config
file for chg-scsi
Here is the top of my amanda.conf file:
inparallel 4 # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel
(max 63)
# this maximum can be increased at compile-time,
# modifying MAX_DUMPERS in server-src/driverio.h
dumporder "sssS" # specify the priority order of each dumper
# s -> smallest size
# S -> biggest size
# t -> smallest time
# T -> biggest time
# b -> smallest bandwitdh
# B -> biggest bandwitdh
# try "BTBTBTBTBTBT" if you are not holding
# disk constrained
netusage 600 Kbps # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per
sec
dumpcycle 1 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 6 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just
weekdays)
tapecycle 7 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
# 4 weeks (dumpcycle) times 5 tapes per week
(just
# the weekdays) plus a few to handle errors that
# need amflush and so we do not overwrite the
full
# backups performed at the beginning of the
previous
# cycle

amrecover_check_label yes # amrecover will call amrestore with the

And here is the top of my chg-scsi.conf file:
number_configs 1
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 60 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 10 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev /dev/ch0

# Next comes the data for drive 0
#

drivenum 0
dev /dev/nsa0 # the device that is used for the
tapedrive 0
startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 7 #
statfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape7-slot # The file where the
actual sl
ot is stored
cleancart 7 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for
drive 0 is lo
cated
cleanfile /usr/local/etc/amanda/tape7-clean # The file where the
cleanings
are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/etc/amanda/backup/totaltime
I feel like this is probably a simply problem, but I can't find it.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for your time.
