Great! I got MTX installed and I can move the tapes around like I want
to. That is working perfectly so far.
Now, when I'm trying to use Amanda I am still getting errors, I'm not
sure where the errors are:
%amverify DailySet1
Tape changer is /usr/local/etc/amanda/mtx-changer...
1 slot...

Any ideas why I'm getting this now?

Hi,
first: please keep this task on the list, it gives other people the
posibility to jump in and correct me if i tell you something wrong
I guess this is a scsi-tapechanger, correct? then you have a few
possibilities to get the robot moving:
chg-scsi, mtx, and possibly more, i don't know all the free available
tools to make tape robots move, espacialy for solaris as i am using
linux on all my servers and i opperate my tapechanger all with chg-scsi.
so now we are at the point where one of the solaris-people here on the
list should jump in to help you further, but the need a little more info
on your problem likthe exact type of your changer, which version of
amanda you use, if you compiled it your self etc.

Thanks, that is a big help! I'll switch to another script and see
what happens.
Do you know if Amanda can move the robot?? Currently, the only
software we have works through a webpage.
Thanks,

Hi,
You have configured amanda to use chg-multi as changer script.
i don't think this is what you want. chg-multi is used with
multiple tapedrives to form a virtual tape-robot.
use one of the other chg-scripts, depending on which software
you use to move your robot.

If anyone can lend a hand with how they configured their L200, that
would be greatly appreciated.
