Hi,
I'm using amanda-server-2.4.4p3-1 + HP 16 Tape changer to do my backups. But i have a problem, even when amanda wants say Daily04 loaded into the tape drive for a backup, the chg-zd-mtx loader always loads Daily01 into the drive, and therefore the backup fails.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [label Daily04 or new tape not found in rack].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to used are: Daily04, Daily01.
Here is the relevent amanda.conf:
runtapes 2 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
changerfile "/etc/amanda/farm_daily_backup/changer"
changerdev "/dev/sg1"
tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" # the tape-changer /
tapetype SDLT320 # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)
labelstr "^Daily0[1-9]$"
Here is the changer.conf
multieject 0
gravity 0
needeject 0
ejectdelay 0
statefile /var/lib/amanda/farm_daily_backup/changer-status
firstslot 1
lastslot 16
I am relatively new to amanda, can someone help me?
Thanks
Brandon
