Re: Configuring ADIC-1200D autochanger with integral Sony SDT-5000 drive
I've had nothing but perfect luck with the sgen driver under Solaris. FYI, are you sure you're not mixing differential and non-differential units on the same bus? Last time I saw that error, it turns out that the hard disk on the bus wasn't differential.

Done this. On a related note, I've built and installed mtx-1.2.10 and it produces the following with the SunOS 5.8 'sgen' driver configured and bound successfully to the changer device set to ID 5: 7 root@lios # mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c0t5d0 inquiry mtx: I/O error mtx: Request Sense: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 mtx: INQUIRY Command Failed There is a hard drive on the same SCSI bus (it's the Amanda spool disk, but isn't used for anything else), and I'm suspecting it might be causing the problems because I'm seeing a lot of 'target did not disconnect after sending DISCONNECT' messages in the console window. Has anyone else successfully used amanda with mtx and the SunOS 'sgen' driver? I'm going to try removing the drive off the same bus as the changer to try and isolate the problems. Perhaps I should use the 'sst' driver instead if that's known to work better? The hard drive could be defective too. Regards, Craig. -- Craig Dewick.

Configuring ADIC-1200D autochanger with integral Sony SDT-5000 drive
Hi everyone, I've obtained an ADIC 1200D 12-tape autochanger which has an integral Sony SDT-5000 DDS-2 drive. I'm about to try to set up amanda-2.4.2p1 to work with it using chg-zd-mtx as the tape changer type. I have mtx-1.2.9 here but there's probably a newer version by now. Are there any known caveats with the ADIC DAT autochangers that I should be aware of? I'll soon be replacing the SDT-5000 with an SDT-9000 (DDS-3 drive)... BTW, I'm going to see if can get it all to work using Sun's 'sgen' driver instead of using the 'sst' driver code supplied with the amanda source. I've configure 'sgen.conf' so that when I reboot the device links are set up. Fingers crossed that it works! Regards, Craig. -- Craig Dewick.
