Problems with Tandberg SLR7

[Artur]

Hi
I have a problem with TD SLR 7.
I can't write dump into tape.

when i run amcheck i got the message:

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 224049908 kB disk space available, using 20971520 kB as requested
Changer problem: open: /dev/st0: Success
changer problem: open: /dev/st0: Success (expecting a new tape)
Server check took 0.229 seconds

e-mail after amdump:

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No writable valid tape found].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

the dump is not write to tape.

Where is a problem?

Did you label tapes using amlabel (http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amlabel)?

If you had labelled tapes available, please take a look at /tmp/amanda/server/<amanda configuration name/taper* log file. If you running 2.5.0 or older version of amanda, the log files will be in /tmp/amanda directory.

thank's for all
I changed the tpchanger for chg-mannual and all is ok.

beware:
do not use /dev/st0
better use /dev/nst0 :)
