more with Amanda and Sun L9

I've had another go at this today by shifting the entire Amanda host setupto a different machine (Sun Ultra 2) and recompiling mtx and amanda fromsource. I'm using the same sort of Sbus Qlogic differential SCSI card tocommunicate with the L9 array that I had in the previous host system.

After figuring our the right config for the 'sgen' driver, I changed theamanda.conf file to show the device name for the changer (it's beendetected as /dev/scsi/sequential/c1t1d0).

I have all the directories that Amanda needs created and chowned to beowned by amanda with group 'sys' and I also changed all the /dev/rmt nodesalong with /dev/scsi/sequential/c1t1d0 to be owned by amanda with group'sys'.


However when I rum 'amcheck' I still get the:

Changer problem: no slots available

error message that occured with the previous host system. Running 'amtapeORBnet update' produces the same thing.


If I replace 'tapelist' with a blank file, same result.

I'm also starting to think the problem is the array itself but I am sureothers are using L9's with Amanda without any problems, even connected toa Sun box for the host.


Can anyone think of anything else I should be checking?

Running 'mtx -f /dev/scsi/sequential/c1t1d0 inquiry' reports the DLT drivetype, etc. as expected.
