mt is already installed as well as mtx, I also already have the docs for that drive and it should be setup to use.

That changer has very specific OS requirements for installation including dip switch settings, and the dip switchs are in part, inside the case requiring case removal. Next, make sure you have the programs mt and mtx. Get them working to load/unload tapes and magazines and get the status of the tape changer status (mtx) and can rewind a tape and get the status of the tape drive (mt). This may require you getting your OS to recognize multiple LUN's for the scsi driver. Only then start looking at the amanda how-to docs. -- Jon H.
