Hi All,
I have been using a LT04 Tape for backup. And now I received a new LT04
Quantum Superloader.
I am trying to get it working but it is not.
Several things, your tapes are labelled as if they're cleaning tapes, if
they're not, change the barcodes on them (it will confuse things later).
Also you're giving amanda the wrong changerdev. Your mtx command there
lists sg2, why would you give amanda a different changerdev? Along that
same line are you sure of the SCSI device for the drive you want is nst0?
amanda-users-request is NOT for reaching the list, don't CC it. It's ONLY
to reach the list administrators.
My config is as follows,
amanda.conf
runtapes 2
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"
changerfile "/var/lib/amanda/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/sg0"
tapetype LTO-4
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
labelstr "^CLN14[1-2]L2*$"
amrecover_changer "chg-zd-mtx"
changer.conf
eject > 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 10 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax 10
havebarcode 1
havereader=1
offline_before_unload=1
offlinestatus=1
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=1
root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# mtx -f /dev/sg2 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg2:1 Drives, 16 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=CLN141L2

Storage Element 10:Empty

Storage Element 12:Empty
Storage Element 13:Empty
Storage Element 14:Empty
Storage Element 15:Empty
Storage Element 16:Empty
Anyone has an idea, what is wrong.
Thanks
