Gurus,
I know that this question is not full Solaris/Sun question, but as
I'm using a Solaris Box to serve this, maybe someone can help me.
I installed Amanda, mtx to control and L9 and backup the box.
Amanda is workign perfect, and mtx work perfect. But when I try to
use chg-zd-mtx the problem started. Please find below the configurations and
the problem:
Configs:
> ####
> firstslot=1 #### First storage slot (element) -- required
> lastslot=9 #### Last storage slot (element) -- required
> cleanslot=-1 #### Slot with cleaner tape -- default is "-1"
> #
> driveslot=0 #### Drive slot number. Defaults to the
When I try:
> > bash-2.05# mtx status
> > Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 9 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
> > Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 5 Loaded):VolumeTag =
> > Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=

But if I use chg-zd-mtx, I get:

A little more information. I f I put one tape in the last slot, then the
chg-zd-mtx -info show the right values, but if I change it back to another
slot, then it stop working again, and show the number of the last slot use,
for example, if I put the last tape into slot 7 I receive:
1 7 1
and if I put the last one into 6 I receive:
1 6 1
At the same time if I run amcheck, I receive:
bash-2.05# amcheck <amanda_set>
