I haven't found any examples of Amanda configurations using storage definitions. Having read through
the man pages, I've come up with a modification of my amanda.conf that I think should work, and I'm
looking for comments and feedback.
I had temporarily set up a separate Amanda configuration to test my new LTO7 tape library. That
seemed to work, and I was able to generate a typetype for LTO7. Now I want to fold it into my
regular daily amanda.conf and have that use both my current LTO6 library and the new LTO7.
I've added a section as follows:
define storage research {
define changer NEO200x48 {
tpchanger
"chg-robot:/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-1BDT_FlexStor_II_00MX64200626_LL0" # your
changer device file (T48)
property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/nst1" # your tape drive device
file
property append "tape-device" "1=tape:/dev/nst2" # your tape
drive device file
property "use-slots" "1-11" # UPDATE WHEN TAPES ADDED
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
}
tpchanger "NEO200x48"
tapetype LTO7
labelstr "^Bio-Research-[0-9][0-9][0-9]*$"
amrecover_changer "NEO200x48"
dump-selection "Research" ALL
}
immediately after those same settings in the daily amanda.conf.
I'm thinking with that in the configuration, I will be able to label tapes by,
e.g.
amlabel --storage "Research" daily "Bio-Research-012"
Then I should be able to shift DLEs from the daily to the Research storage by
putting a
tag "Research"
in the dump type, or in the DLE.
I'm assuming that the default will follow my pre-existing amanda.conf with a default
storage of "daily".
