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.
I do exactly this, and have never seen a collision. I kick off the 2
amdumps 5 minutes apart. Be sure to assign each config its own set of
slots.
