Re: Submitting a chg-zd-mtx, with barcode support, and 9 slot support
This is my latest update to chg-zd-mtx, and most likely my last, barring any bugs in this one. It incorporates all bugfixes posted to me in the last week (thank you). Changes: - moved 'all' user set variables to a separate config file called 'changerfile'.conf. By this, I mean if you have this in amanda.conf changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/something" then your config file will be /etc/amanda/DailySet1/something.conf. I have included mine ADIC.conf as an example of _all_ the variables that are to be set in it. Set up in amanda.conf has not changed. - added a new internal variable: $drivenum - returns the /dev/nst# number. Whould work with other device names also. The above 2 changes gives this chg-zd-mtx the ability to work on multiple drives at the same time, instead of having multiple copies of it for each Amanda config. Bugs: I don't believe it is a bug with this script, but rather amtape. Some times when running 'amtape update', it will cycle through the tapelist multiple times. I had this happen a few times before the above changes also, but maybe only once or twice (I don't run update that often, since 30 DLT's take for ever.) However, if someone sees what's causing it, I appreciate it. -- Jason Hollinden SMG Systems Admin chgzdmtx.tar.gz
Re: Submitting a chg-zd-mtx, with barcode support, and 9 slot support
Ok, I've changed over to the new version that was suggested, and I have
also incorporated the suggestions of several people who's name escape
me (sorry). This now has the 'mt offline' variable of the newest
chg-zd-mtx, and tests whether your drives provides an 'offline', or an
'ONLINE' when changing from offline to online. It is also in
chg-zd-mtx.sh.in form, so it can be linked in with the configure step.
I would appreciate it if some people can test this, both with a large
barcode reader, and also some more standard 10 slot drives. I want to
be sure that I didn't break a working script just to add my parts.
Thanks...

The attached file is a replacement for chg-zd-mtx. I have added support
for barcode readers, and also for libraries between 1-999 slots (I
would so love to hear from someone that has a honking big library like
that say it works). All amanda utils can work with this for barcode
database lookups (amcheck can load the appropriate tape all by itself,
etc.)
The main thing to do it be sure to update the barcode database after any
new tapes are added, or removed from cycle. To do this, make a backup
of the old barcodes file, then run 'amtape conf update'. This will
cycle through all your tape slots, and put them in your barcodes file
like this:
tape amlabel barcode
Be sure to modify the top part of the script to fit your needs, and also
check out the comments on what 'mt status' should return for your tape
device.
Some changes to come:
- make it completely independent of what slot the tapes are in, since
certain loaders may unload to the wrong slot depending on circumstances.
- Better error handling, which right now is crappy to say the least.
- Anything brought ot my attention by you peoples
Enjoy...

No, easy to miss since I didn't get it done in time for p1. Everyone loves
to post hacks, and few people are testing code submitted, so patches aren't
integrated into the release until multiple people can confirm they work.
...which is why I'm hoping you'll use this.
