Allright, This is my /proc/scsi/scsi: Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ADAPTEC Model: RAID-5 Rev: 320R Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: ADIC Model: FastStor DLT Rev: 0118 Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT7000 Rev: 3213 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
So my changer is /dev/sg1 and the tapedev /dev/sg2. if I run: bash-2.05a$ /usr/lib/amanda/chg-scsi -info 0 5 1 0 bash-2.05a$ looks good, eh? but if I run: bash-2.05a$ amcheck DailySet1 Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /home/amanda: 26482476 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: fatal slot <error>: <error> could not read result from "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-scsi" (got signal 11) ERROR: new tape not found in rack (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test The amanda.conf file reads: runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump tpchanger "chg-scsi" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/chg-scsi.conf" And the chg-scsi.conf fiel reads: number_configs 1 eject 0 # Tapedrives need an eject command sleep 90 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready cleanmax 100 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used changerdev /dev/sg1 # # Next comes the data for drive 0 # config 0 drivenum 0 dev /dev/nst0 scsitapedev /dev/sg2 startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0 enduse 4 # statfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored cleancart 5 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located cleanfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tape0-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /etc/amanda/DailySet1/totaltime tapestatus /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapestatus # here will some status infos be stored #labelfile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/labelfile # Use this if you have an barcode reader So it seems to find the changer but can't use it????????????? cheers Axel On Tue, 2002-12-17 at 18:55, Aaron Brown wrote: > /proc/scsi/scsi lists the devices in order starting with /dev/sga. > > For example, my medium changer is on /dev/sgc: > > aaron@machine:~$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi > Attached devices: > Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 13 Lun: 00 > Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT8000 Rev: 0114 > Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 > Vendor: QUANTUM Model: ATLAS 10K 18WLS Rev: UCP2 > Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 > Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 > Vendor: HP Model: C7200-8000 Rev: 1520 > Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 03 > Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 12 Lun: 00 > Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT8000 Rev: 0114 > Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 11 Lun: 00 > Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT8000 Rev: 0114 > Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > > This changer expects tapedev to be a number that matches > a config line in your "changer.conf".
