Re: Setting up Amanda on Redhat with hp Autoloader help

Hi,

yes i've working an hp 24x6 with amanda. not on redhat, but on debian,which is no big difference related to amanda.

one big gotcha:

the changer and the tapedrive share the same scsi-id, with differentlun's. So if you want it to get working you have to use a kernel withmultiple lun support enabled. Otherwise you'll only see the tapedriveand not the robot needed for changing the tapes.

just do a

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

to see if it found all devices needed.
on my host it returns:

the last 2 devices are the tape and the robot.

Atached is an archiv containig my configuration files for thearchiv-Backups taken weekly and for chg-scsi to move the changer.

have a lot of fun with it... ;-)

Has anyone successfully setup and has running Amanda on Redhat 9.x with an
HP Autoloader (24x6 or 40x6).  If so, can you please send me the configs. I 
can't
seem to get mine working properly and we would like to use it for backing up

our repository if possible. Also, any starter manuals and such would bevery very helpful.
