Apropos of non-Amanda questions (the list owner can chastise me if I'm out of line) I'm using an Exabyte Magnum 224 LTO connected to an Adaptec 29320A SCSI card. The OS is CentOS 4, on a machine on which I have another SCSI card connected to a Spectra Logic 2k (I'm running amanda). My fervent hope was to run AMANDA with the Exabyte. My trouble: the Exabyte assigns the same SCSI ID to the tape drive and the changer, but gives them different LUNs.
I have no problem seeing the changer, at SCSI ID 6 LUN 0. However, /dev/nst2, the device associated with the drive, reports input/output failure. So, in the SCSI BIOS setup I enabled multiple LUNs AND in /etc/modprobe.conf I added a line to allow multiple LUNs. No joy. Probably for lack of a proper SCSI terminator for LVD scsi---or else I've missed some other crucial point. Once I get this to work, I promise to run amtapetype and post the results. I may upgrade to RHEL 5.
