Quick question will Amanda work correctly with two different configurations, each one using a tape drive running at the same time?

Ex.

Data Transfer Element 0:Empty

Data Transfer Element 1:Full (Storage Element 9 Loaded):VolumeTag = EGV010    these are my 2 drives.

However,

When I try to run

/opt/amanda/server/sbin/amlabel -f FullDB EGV010 slot 9

Here is the error I get

“amlabel: could not load slot "9": Drive not ready after 120 seconds, rewind said "/dev/rmt/3cn:"Drive not ready after no seconds, rewind said "tape"Drive not ready after loaded seconds, rewind said "or"Drive not ready after drive seconds, rewind said "offline"”

 

The tape EGV010 always goes to drive 0 instead of 1.

mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1 status

  Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1:2 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )

Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 9 Loaded):VolumeTag = EGV010

Here are the conf files for FullDB

cat changer.conf

firstslot=1

lastslot=23

driveslot=1

cleanslot=-1

autoclean=0

autocleancount=99

havereader=1

offline_before_unload=0

initial_poll_delay=0

tapedev "/dev/rmt/3cn"  # the no-rewind tape device to be used  ***Currently using hardware compression

changerdev "/dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1"

amrecover_changer "/dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1"

Thanks
