You have to do it manually. There's just no other reliable way if you have multiple changers and multiple drives attached to the same system. Some libraries have drives and the robot on separate SCSI ports; there's no way to automate matching them up (ordering doesn't help if they are on different buses). The easiest thing to do is to connect one library at a time and note the /dev/tape/by-id entries that go together (and then always use those nodes instead of the generic /dev/st0 and such). -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
