HP SureStore DLT Autoloader 818

[Juan José Ferrer]

Hi
  Has anybody a HP SureStore DLT Autoloader 818 ? 
I have problems with the tape changer (HP C6280-8000) in linux (2.2.16). 
If you know an easy form to change tapes... please tell me.

 Thanks in advance

Ayup, works just dandy for me.  However, the version of amanda I'm using is 
kindof a Kludge.  I'm using the chg-scsi code from a May CVS snapshot of 
2.5.0, merged into a September snapshot of 2.4.2.

I have not tried the most recent release of 2.4.2 yet, so I don't know if that 
works or not.  At one point someone told me the chg-scsi code was identical 
between 2.4.2 and 2.5.0, however, when I tried just the Sept. 2.4.2 snapshot, 
nothing worked correctly, so I've stuck with my kludged configuration until I 
can figure out how to get the released 2.4.2 to work. (I'm desperately afraid 
to muck with a working config though :)
