Re: error whith amlabel and chg-rait
chg-rait and chg-robot do not use meta label, don't try to set it.
Only chg-disk use meta-label.
The barcode is the combination of all barcodes, as the inventory told
you, the barcode is '{D00225,D00225}'
amlabel -f --barcode '{D00225,D00225}' mirror
The same is true for the slot number, you could do:
amlabel -f mirror slot '{225,225}'
It is not required to put the same barcode on both tape, it is generally
a bad idea to do so, a barcode must be unique.

Hello,

Do you have 'meta-autolabel' set in your amanda.conf? unset it.

My LTO-4 (StorageTek SL-500) libraries won't load a tape and bring it online unless it has a correctly formatted barcode label. You can buy them pre-printed but we just make our own using a simple Brother Ptouch label maker and 3/4 inch (18mm) tape. I think a proper label has up to 8 alpha-numerics but the last 2 characters have to be L4 (if it's an LTO4 tape) or the library/drive won't know what to do with it. My cleaning cartridge with a factory barcode is labeled CLNU01CU. I like to do my own barcode labels so that the human readable label matches the amanda software label. The L4 extension doesn't actually show when I do something like an mtx status so I don't include that in the amanda label. IBM has a pdf of the LTO label spec here: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/**docview.wss?rs=543context=** STCVQ6Rq1=ssg1*uid=**ssg1S7000429loc=en_UScs=utf-**8lang=en+enhttp://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=543context=STCVQ6Rq1=ssg1*uid=ssg1S7000429loc=en_UScs=utf-8lang=en+en or http://tinyurl.com/LTO-label-**spec http://tinyurl.com/LTO-label-spec Good luck!

IIRC, this is fixed with:
2000-04-09 Alexandre Oliva [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* server-src/amlabel.c (main): Check label *after* writing end mark.
that made it to 2.4.2p2, but not to 2.4.2

RE: error with amlabel
Hi, I've been trying unsuccesfully to label a exabyte 160mXL tape on a EXB-8500 drive. I run amlable as amanda user. backup server is solaris 2.6 with Amanda 2.4.2. $ id uid=301(amanda) gid=301(backup) $ /usr/local/sbin/amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1-000 rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape rewinding, writing label DailySet1-000 amlabel: writing endmark: I/O error $ mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn status Exabyte EXB-8500 8mm Helical Scan tape drive: sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 0 block no= 0 then if I run amcheck $ amcheck DailySet1 Amanda Tape Server Host Check - Holding disk /d03/amanda: 14674376 KB disk space available, that's plenty ERROR: /dev/rmt/0bn: reading label: I/O error (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test ... so it is expecting a new tape, but I can not label a tape as It give me strange I/o error, showning above I know the tape are good because it have been used before ( not used under amanda,but have been used to dump/tar files on it) and i tried more then a few tape , all same kind of error. what do I missed ? TIA, Thanks, jason
