I'm trying to get stctl working so that I can move on to the Amanda stages, Can anyone help me with this that has probably had troubles in my same area? I'm situation is below:
I have stctl installed and configured (I think properly) on my Sun E250 running Solaris 7 in 64 bit mode (I am still using the 32 bit driver nonetheless). I have an Exabyte 10 H changer assembly with an Exabyte 8500 series drive. When I use the command 'stc status' I get this output: numdrives=1(0) numtransports=1(e) numloadbays=0() numslots=10(m,e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e,e)
And when I type the command: 'stc load 3 1' (assuming I'm saying load tape 3 into drive 1) I get this output: stc: Slot 3 reported empty
This isn't true, I have tapes loaded in "every" slot on the changer.
Can you think of anything that I might be doing wrong? Assuming I have configured the /usr/kernel/drv/stctl.conf correctly and the major and minor updates are correct is there a way to cause stc to learn that the slots are full? Or is there a way for stc to check to see if the bays have tapes in them so that it doesn't report 'stc: Slot # empty' ?
Thanks for all of your help, I have been on this for months with no success....
