OK, so you figured out your error, and this one configuration is working?
Now the question remains, can two configurations run using the different
drives?
According to this thread, the answer is yes:

And the person who asked reported back that it worked.

Figured out what the error was, my changer file was pointing to the
other configuration for drive 0.
Can anyone still answer this question?
Quick question will Amanda work correctly with two different
configurations, each one using a tape drive running at the same time?

Ex.
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Data Transfer Element 1:Full (Storage Element 9 Loaded):VolumeTag =
EGV010 these are my 2 drives.
However,
When I try to run
/opt/amanda/server/sbin/amlabel -f FullDB EGV010 slot 9
Here is the error I get
“amlabel: could not load slot "9": Drive not ready after 120 seconds,
rewind said "/dev/rmt/3cn:"Drive not ready after no seconds, rewind
said "tape"Drive not ready after loaded seconds, rewind said "or"Drive
not ready after drive seconds, rewind said "offline"”
The tape EGV010 always goes to drive 0 instead of 1.
mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1 status
Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1:2 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1
Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 9 Loaded):VolumeTag = EGV010
Here are the conf files for FullDB
cat changer.conf
firstslot=1
lastslot=23
driveslot=1
cleanslot=-1
autoclean=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=1
offline_before_unload=0
initial_poll_delay=0
tapedev "/dev/rmt/3cn" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
***Currently using hardware compression
changerdev "/dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1"
amrecover_changer "/dev/scsi/changer/c5t3d1"
Thanks
