Hello, We have a new tape drive but I am unsuccessfully running amlabel. Some background: I was successfully running amlabel on HARD-DISK. I modified amanda.conf file to accommodate the new tape drive specifications: I added the new tape drive spec - which I got through running amtapetype. with the following :
define tape type ULTRIUM2-LTO{ comment "just produced by tape type prog (hardware compression off)" length 207465 mbytes filemark 939 kbytes speed 17489 kps } and added the following line in the 'main' section in amanda.conf tape type ULTRIUM2-LTO But when I run the command: # amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1001 The system ask me: #insert tape into slot 1 and press return Even though the tape is already in! - I tried to eject and insert the tape but it again requested me to insert a tape! Is it because Amanda could not identify my tape drive? Or maybe it is related to my previous testing of Amanda with our hard-drive. I successfully labeled our hard-drive and recently I comment it out and labeled the new tape drive? Thanks much, gil
