RE: Tape list problem

Not much to go on. Was it getting "updated" before? What kind of

update do you mean? What are you doing that should change it?

Show us what the tape list looks like before you do something,

then what you actually did that you thought should change it,

what responses amanda gave, and what the tape list looks like afterward.

Many thanks for the quick response. Yes it was getting updated before. I meant once I replaced the tapes in the tape device with new once. Amanda does not update its tape list file with new information.

New tape's also has all the barcodes and barcodes starts from A00140-A00179 but the Amanda's tape list file still showing the list of old tapes instead of new once e.g;

Old tape list looks like this;

20040730 CSODailySet1-A00121 reuse

20040528 CSODailySet1-A00128 reuse

20040526 CSODailySet1-A00127 reuse

20040524 CSODailySet1-A00126 reuse

20040521 CSODailySet1-A00125 reuse

20040520 CSODailySet1-A00124 reuse

20040518 CSODailySet1-A00123 reuse

20040101 CSODailySet1-A00109 reuse

20031007 CSODailySet1-A00116 reuse

After changing the tapes this is what I get;

operator@ethel:/usr/local/etc/amanda # amcheck CSODailySet1/

Amanda Tape Server Host Check

amcheck-server: fatal slot 24: Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 24...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes

ERROR: label CSODailySet1-A00116 or new tape not found in rack

(expecting tape CSODailySet1-A00116 or a new tape)

NOTE: skipping tape-writable test

Server check took 28.256 seconds

But the information in tape list does not changes at all it still shows the old information.

Thanks
