tape control and amanda
hello, I need some help. I have installed amanda-2.4.2-19991216-beta1 on Freebsd 4.1 I have a Breecehill tape robot with 15 cartridges in it. I have noticed the changer device is set to /dev/ch0. The actual device is listed as /dev/pass1. How can I change this? Secondly, is it possible to use mt or chio to manual move the robot changer, any examples would be appreciated Thanks in advance! -- Clem Kumah [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administratorwww.worldonline.co.uk World Online UK +44 (0)8707 48 4000

Yes, I'm building it on RedHat 6.1, too. uname says:
Linux [name] 2.2.12.32 #1 [date] i686 unknown.
I've tried it with the option
--host=Linux or
--host=i686-unknown-Linux
Now configure says:
checking host system type... Invalid configuration 'Linux': machine
'Linux'
and stops with the error: C compiler cannot create executables
The rest of the process is listed above. A big thx for help in
advance.

HP 1557A configuration
Hi,
I'm trying to install Amanda on a Solaris 2.6 system, with an HP 1557A
tape changer...Here is my pb :
I'm not sure which type of configuration I need to specifie in the
amanda.conf for the HP 1557A systeme...I've found on the web this
configuration :
[]
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to
be used
rawtapedev "/dev/nst0" # the raw device to be used
(ftape only)
changerfile "/etc/amanda/mtx-changer"
changerdev "/dev/nst0"
tapetype HP1557A
[]
define tapetype HP1557A {
comment "HP SureStore DAT24x6 tape drive"
# data provided by Ivo Clarysse
length 12000 mbytes
filemark 111 kbytes
speed 3000 kbytes
}
Ok...but I'm not able to find the mtx-changer file...
Should I really use this one or can I use the default one given in the
amanda package (in this case, wich one should I use???!!)
Thanks for any hints!!!

These packages are considered optional by RedHat, if you are not going to be compiling software yourself. Since you are compiling software, you should go and install these packages. Since I'm not a RedHat user, I don't know the names of them, but anything with the word "development" or "dev" in the name or comment is probably fair game. -- David DeSimone | "The doctrine of human equality reposes on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | that there is no man really clever who has not Hewlett-Packard | found that he is stupid." -- Gilbert K.

You may use both Samba & Amanda to backup your Win client. Have a look into the Amanda documentation, there's a file named "SAMBA". Pierre.

Re: HP 1557A configuration
I have a similar changer, and wrestled with the config as well. As I
understand the 'changerfile' line in the amanda.conf, it is a prefix for
several files used to control the useage.
changer-access
changer-clean
changer-slot
changer-status... in my case,
I compiled mtx, then fought with the chg-mtx script, before I found that
the chg-zd-mtx script already had the syntax I needed.
My changer.conf file... I am still unable to get it to use more than 6
slots of my 12 slot magazine.
#From newsgroup postings, using /dev/st1
# Tony Traylor 2905
number_configs 1
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 5 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready
cleanmax20 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used
changerdev /dev/st1
#
# Next comes the data for drive 1
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/nst1 # Tne drive that is used for the tapedrive0
startuse 1 # The slots assoc w/drive0
enduse 12 #

The RH 6.1 gcc compiler is in the egcs package. You may also need cdecl,
cproto and flex.
I used ./configure pentiumii on one of my early attempts.

y2k issue in amtoc perl script
I don't know if this has been noticed, but amtoc -v returns 19100 as the
year instead of 2000. Here's a fix I came up with:
Modify line 141 of the amtoc file to read:
printf ("\t%d-$mon-$mday",$year+1900);
This seems to fix it. -- Eric

daily AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR November 4, 2000 (fwd)
Just sda10 failed this time. There have been no changes made to any of the
config files since I reported this problem last Thursday.
Last Thursday's amanda dump reported that sd9 and sda10 Failed
Nov 4th - amanda dump reported that only sda10 Failed
Nov 5th - amanda dump reported that only sda10 Failed
Nov 6th - amanda dump reported that only sda10 Failed
Are you all saying that I need to change the chunk size?
sda10 - is our /home - this i need to get backed ups on.

The schedule give:
admin1.cor sda9 lv 2 t 5 s52939 p 13
52939/5 = 10587 that's above 1, and that's why sda9 didn't get
dumped.
As Alexandre said, sda10 didn't get dumped because the disk was big and
the chunksize set to -1.

Re: Is it possible to only backup partial Windows volumes?
Can't you have the administrator of the windows box create the share you need? No good reason to share the whole disk, and even if they have decided to, you can create another share of some subdirectory.

Newbie seeks to offend list (not really)
I'm really new to Amanda, and I'm not trying to offend everyone, but I
probably will. Will someone please take the time to help me design my
amanda.conf file? I've read the Backup Central docs on amanda
(http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda-11.html), and some other docs,
but it's too deep for me.
- I have 3 tapes that I would like to rotate for backing up /home
(which needs to stay mounted rw during backup).
- 1 backup per day, at, say 1:00am. Monday through friday only.
- overwrite old backups or whatever tape was in the drive at the time
of the backup.

Nice idea :-) No, "diskdev" is the harddisk (sig!) on the client that you want to backup. Ex. if you have 2 disks on client1 there are 2 entries: client1 /mountpoint1/of/disk1 dumptype client1 /mountpoint2/of/disk2 dumptype And possibly lots more for other clients. The tape device is set in your amanda.conf file and that's the only place where it is needed. Peter

I have some tribal wisdom to give back to the tribe
I have two FastStor 22 tape changers from ADIC (http://www.adic.com) with the DLT 8000 tape drive and I love 'em. Each one is hung off of a dual processor PC running RH Linux 6.2 and they both have Amanda 2.4.1p1 software. However, the tape changer works reliably on one machine but unreliably on the other machine. The software is bit-for-bit identical and the machines don't have any problems if I run the mtx command manually - I was in despair. So I traced the chg-zd-mtx script and discovered that there was a variable, cleancount, that was not getting initialized (as opposed to being initialized to 0). The reason why is because I copied over the software files but not the state files, /usr/local/etc/amanda/changer-*. Somehow, an empty changer-clean file was created with 0 length, which doesn't work at all. So I poked a value into it, and now it appears to be working. I am still doing some more testing (the amtape CONFIGURATION show command is a very good test) but I have every reason for optimism. Is this a bug? I'm not sure. If there is a primitive in the Bourne shell to see if an operand is a valid integer, then use, I think it is;l otherwise I think that the cost of testing outwieghs the cost of failure. Instead, we should note in the documentation that if the changer throws syntax errors, then check for bad changer-* files. Several of you have been most helpful and patient with me - thank you.

The most efficient way is to go through the sample amanda.conf file and change it to suit your needs. It's well commented.

RE: AMDump Reporting Results Missing
I have tried all sorts of wierd and wonderfull combinations of things as the
diskdev.
I have tried
paperbark /dev/hda8 dumptype
paperbark /home dumptype
paperbark /mnt/c-drive dumptype
paperbark / dumptype
You name it and I have probably tried it :) ( i think? )
And I still recieve the same error message
The following message is same for them all except the diskdev section
changes. ( below )
I did have another look at the Amanda FAQamatic and found an article on
there saying that the UDP packets may not be large enough, but it also says
that this should no longer occurr since they increased the packet size from
1 kB to 64 kb.
I am using Redhat 7.0 on a PII 400 with 192 MB ram, surely I needed worry
about the UDP packet size... ??
Thanks everyone for their help so far... I just hope that we can nut this
one out.

Nice idea :-)
No, "diskdev" is the harddisk (sig!) on the client that you want to
backup. Ex. if you have 2 disks on client1 there are 2 entries:
client1 /mountpoint1/of/disk1 dumptype
client1 /mountpoint2/of/disk2 dumptype
And possibly lots more for other clients.
The tape device is set in your amanda.conf file and that's the only place
where it is needed.

How about two configurations with separate sets of disks/hosts to back
up?

I believe a patch to permit Samba backups of sub-directories of shares
went in relatively recently. Try 2.4.2-beta2.

Tony Traylor suggested you to create *another* share, with just the
directory you want to back up. You don't have to share the whole
disk.

Because we don't have enough tapes. None of the really important stuff will fit on the small tapes, and we don't have enough big tapes to go back very far in time (they're expensive). Under this scheme, each big tape represents an additional week of history, rather than just a day. -- Nate Eldredge HMC CS Staff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: I have some tribal wisdom to give back to the tribe
If I had Linux as a backup server I'd rather use chg-scsi. It gives you much more flexibility than other scripts. Most important feature that is useful when you have large number of slots, you can split the changer into few independant tape pools and use them in different configurations. Also might check if barcode feature for your changer is supporting by chg-scsi. It will give you very fast tape load. To make it work you should upgrade to 2.4.2, because as far as I remember chg-scsi does not work in 2.4.1p1.

Re: HP 1557A configuration
First, you need a generic SCSI driver which can find and allocate a device
for your changer. Solaris 8 has "sgen" built in, but with Solaris 2.6
you'll need SST or something like that.
Second, acquire and compile mtx-1.2.9. By the time you get this all done,
I'll have posted my update to chg-mtx, so that you can use the system.
FYI: chg-mtx doesn't use changer.conf, regardless of the comments of
someone else on the list. He's confused.
