Hello, I'm having some problems with amtape and a L280 changer. Specifically, I'm unable to use amtape for anything other than showing the current slot, and ejecting the current slot.
(amanda)@atbackup:/tmp/amanda$ amtape atlab current amtape: scanning current slot in tape-changer rack: slot 3: date X label atlab-03 (amanda)@atbackup:/tmp/amanda$ amtape atlab eject amtape: slot 3 is ejected. (amanda)@atbackup:/tmp/amanda$ amtape atlab slot 4 amtape: could not load slot /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx:: loadslot: not found My setup consists of the following: Sun E450 (solaris 9 + current patch set) Storedge L280 mtx version 1.2.16 amanda version 2.4.4p2 What's strange is mtx by itself works just fine. I can load, unload, run an inquiry etc etc. (amanda)@atbackup:/usr/local/libexec$ mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 load 3 (amanda)@atbackup:/usr/local/libexec$ mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 status Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0:1 Drives, 8 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 3 Loaded) Storage Element 1:Full Storage Element 2:Full Storage Element 3:Empty Storage Element 4:Full Storage Element 5:Full Storage Element 6:Full Storage Element 7:Full Storage Element 8:Full amcheck doesn't complain with the proper tape loaded: (amanda)@atbackup:/usr/local/libexec$ amcheck atlab Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 17234451 KB disk space available, using 17029651 KB amcheck-server: slot 3: date X label atlab-03 (new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Tape atlab-03 label ok Server check took 13.466 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 8 hosts checked in 1.883 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2) Any ideas are appreciated.
