1 # config file for the chg-multi tape changer program.
2 # Used when tpchanger "chg-multi" is specified in amanda.conf.
4 # chg-multi supports several configurations, with or without an actual
5 # changer. Please see docs/TAPE.CHANGERS for a description
7 # chg-multi should actually work directly with any changer that allows
8 # access to the slots via Unix devices that look to software like
9 # regular tape drives. (that is, you don't need a changer driver...).
11 # Configuration variables:
13 # 'multieject': use an 'mt offline' command to change to the next
14 # tape, or multiple such commands for skipping several tapes at a
17 # 'needeject': this option is incompatible with 'multieject'. This is
18 # needed for changers accessed through several virtual tape
19 # devices, when the changer needs the current tape to be ejected
20 # before changing to another device.
22 # 'gravity': set this to 1 if the changer/stacker is unable to loop
23 # back to the first tape after unloading the last one, or if you
24 # don't want amanda to go through the tape stack looking for the
25 # exact tape it wants instead of using the first acceptable one.
27 # slot X: The configuration file should list as many 'slot X'
28 # statements as the number of slots supported by the changer or the
29 # number of separate tape drives used.
31 # For changers that need an 'mt offline' to load the next tape
34 # Is this a gravity stacker that can't go backwards or cycle ? If
35 # yes, set gravity to 1.
38 # Does this tape-changer need an explicit eject command before loading
39 # a new tape? If you are using multiple drives as a tape changer, you
40 # don't want to do this, but if you are using an auto-changer that
41 # allows access to the slots through Unix tape devices, it might block
42 # the mount of a new slot until the old is explicitly ejected. In
43 # that case, set needeject to 1.
46 # On some machines there is a delay between when the eject command
47 # finishes and the next tape is ready to be accessed. Set ejectdelay
48 # to the number of seconds to wait after an eject command. This will
49 # almost certainly be needed if multieject is set, probably not if
53 # Names a status file where the current ``changer'' state is stored.

60 # Enumerate the device files that go with the particular tape changer
61 # slots. Don't forget to specify the no-rewind version of the device.
