Hi,

Is it possible to have 2 configs using 2 separate drives in a tape
robot, i.e. can they share the changer interface?  I don't mean use of
RAIT.

I have successfully set up 1 config with chg-zd-mtx & then tried
duplicating that to a 2nd config using chg-zd-mtx with a different set
of tapes in the robot, and the other drive.  This was successful, except
one of the amdumps failed on the first calling saying no writable tape
could be found; it worked on the 2nd calling so I suspect there is a
clash with 2 configs trying to access the changer.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree, is there a better way to do this (one
of the other changer scripts?) or is it just not possible/supported?

Thanks for any info or suggestions as to where in the documentation I
should be looking.
