I'm trying to get a test setup going to mirror what we have at the IDC so i can make changes before applying them there. I have an old DDS4 autoloader that used to be at the IDC connected to a test setup here.
When i configure it in exactly the same way that it worked at the IDC i get errors. $ amcheck gt-host Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- WARNING: holding disk /var/spool/amanda: only 1388720 KB free (3072000 KB requested) amcheck-server: could not get changer info: badly formed result from changer: "cannot open SCSI device '/dev/sg4' - Permission denied" This is the SCSI info from dmesg Vendor: HP Model: C5713A Rev: H910 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 Vendor: HP Model: C5713A Rev: H910 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi tape st1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 1 and $ scsi_info /dev/st0 SCSI_ID="0,4,0" MODEL="HP C5713A" FW_REV="H910" $ scsi_info /dev/st1 SCSI_ID="0,4,1" MODEL="HP C5713A" FW_REV="H910" Now the issue is that in the IDC on an identical setup in amanda.conf the changer device /dev/sg4 although the SCSI ID's from dmesg are the same as my test setup? If in amanda.conf i set the changer device to be /dev/st0 or st1 i get $ amcheck gt-host Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- WARNING: holding disk /var/spool/amanda: only 1388716 KB free (3072000 KB requested) amcheck-server: could not get changer info: badly formed result from changer: "failed to set sg timeout - Invalid argument" any thoughs as i'm stuck thanks Tom
