RE: Can load but can't eject tapes...
How about this: Write a wrapper for chg-scsi that puts a 'mt -f /dev/nst0 offline' in front of any call to chg-scsi that will need to move tape. Then make AMANDA call the wrapper instead of chg-scsi. -Original Message- From: Lennart Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 2:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can load but can't eject tapes...

What did it do? I'd like to see the chg-scsi*debug file that goes along
with this.
I have tryed to use both 1 and 2 on eject, in chg-scsi.conf, nothing works..
If i use
$mt -f /dev/nst0 offline
followed by
$mtx -f /dev/sga first, next... whatever..
it works
The debug file, is attached.
Just to be clear, are you using the chg-scsi that comes with 2.4.2p2
or did you get the one from 2.5 (or something else)?
I have tryed 2.4.2p2, and the latest cvs..

We had the same problem here. We found that it was caused by a bug in
chg-scsi. When the tape gets ejected, the program loops waiting for
function SenseHandler to return with code SENSE_NO_TAPE_ONLINE. The
generic SCSI version of this function can only return this code if it
was called with the parameter flag set to 2, telling it that the
device is a tape drive.Unfortunately that parameter is set to 0 when the
function gets called and returns with code SENSE_RETRY instead. Here
included is a patch that fixed the problem for us.

This is an known problem in the 2.4.2 Version. Can you try to get amanda 2.5.0
(develoment version) with cvs, compile it and use only the chg-scsi from there
And it dosn't say anything.. In the debug file i cannot find anything weird...
But there is an error code 70.. Can anyone tell me what this means ?
Thats not the real problem. chg-scsi needs the information from the mode sense
page to decide how to move, if this fails chg-scsi will stop. There
are some fixes in the 2.5.0 version to try to get this information with
an alternate way, and it works at last on AIX with an SONY changer.
So give it a try.
Also you can try to comment out this line (~ line 2894 in scsi-changer-driver)
} else {
dbprintf((CheckMove : pDeviceCapabilitiesPage == NULL));
/*
ChgExit(CheckMove, DeviceCapabilitiesPage == NULL, FATAL);
*/
}

RE: Can load but can't eject tapes...
I had a problem like that when I first started using my Exabyte changer, and it turned out that it requires an explicit eject before the picker will move the tape from the drive. Can you move tapes with any utility outside of AMANDA? The 'userland' utility that I use shows which tapes are accessible to the picker, and it only shows the tape in the drive as accessible once it has been ejected. The output looks like this: /dev/sch0: mt=1 st=10 ie=0 dt=1 medium transport 0: storage 0: access full 1: access full 2: access full 3: access full 4: access full 5: access full 6: access full 7: access full 8: access full 9: access import/export data transfer 0: full If the tape in the drive was ejected, the last line would be 0: access full. -Original Message- From: Lennart Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 4:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Can load but can't eject tapes...

This will cause Amanda to issue a mt -f /dev/tape device offline command before attempting the eject. I have to do this with my Benchmark DLT7. Try it manually if you like to get a feel for it.
