I currently use CHS with solaris (all versions 2.6 -> 2.8) ... but as I have been discussing with the list .... I only have binaries to run it in 32bit mode. I can keep you posted Glenn on what I change to ..... I have had a quick look at MTX and I am still trying to find "chg-scsi"!
Chs works well ... and if I had a preference I would continue using it as our amanda setup with CHS has worked fine for 5 years .... but no-one seems to have the source code for a recompile into 64bit mode .... so I'll start looking at these others. Let you know how I go. Glenn Zenker wrote: > I'm running Solaris 8, a Powerstor L200 with Amanda version 2.4.4p2. I > compiled the software on the machine.
