multiple LTOs in the same library
This mailing list seems dead. Is anybody actually still reading it? ___ Hello everyone, I have an Amanda setup nicely working with a SpectraStack. The drives are LTO8 but I've just figured out that there are several LTO7 too in the library. Now I've both types defined in amanda.conf however I cannot find a way to tell Amanda that tape labelled XXX or with the barcode 101010 is an LTO7 while another is an LTO8 instead. I've seen something around like specifying the blocksize in the tapelist file but didn't convince me moreover I didn't manage to find one example of such case despite I don't think this is such a rare case with libraries with a lot of tapes. I'm using amanda 3.3.3. I know is terribly old but we are going to do a major upgrade within months. In the meantime I'd like to implement this configuration, if possible. Any hint would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

OK! I guess you have no hint for me but thanks anyway for giving a sign. On Tue, 2023-05-16 at 11:01 +0200, Kees Meijs | Nefos wrote: > Yes. > > On 16-05-2023 10:40, ASV wrote: > > This mailing list seems dead. Is anybody actually still reading it? >
Re: multiple LTOs in the same library
I think the settings you want are two different storage/pools sections with a labelstr regex for matching valid tapes for it. I cant see my config from my phone but its something like that.

Thanks exuvo, I'll try to dig a bit in that direction even though I was expecting some built-in functionality for that.
