# config file for the chg-multi tape changer program. # Used when tpchanger "chg-multi" is specified in amanda.conf. # chg-multi supports several configurations, with or without an actual # changer. Please see docs/TAPE.CHANGERS for a description # # chg-multi should actually work directly with any changer that allows # access to the slots via Unix devices that look to software like # regular tape drives. (that is, you don't need a changer driver...). # Configuration variables: # # 'multieject': use an 'mt offline' command to change to the next # tape, or multiple such commands for skipping several tapes at a # time. # # 'needeject': this option is incompatible with 'multieject'. This is # needed for changers accessed through several virtual tape # devices, when the changer needs the current tape to be ejected # before changing to another device. # # 'gravity': set this to 1 if the changer/stacker is unable to loop # back to the first tape after unloading the last one, or if you # don't want amanda to go through the tape stack looking for the # exact tape it wants instead of using the first acceptable one. # # slot X: The configuration file should list as many 'slot X' # statements as the number of slots supported by the changer or the # number of separate tape drives used. # For changers that need an 'mt offline' to load the next tape multieject 0 # Is this a gravity stacker that can't go backwards or cycle ? If # yes, set gravity to 1. gravity 0 # Does this tape-changer need an explicit eject command before loading # a new tape? If you are using multiple drives as a tape changer, you # don't want to do this, but if you are using an auto-changer that # allows access to the slots through Unix tape devices, it might block # the mount of a new slot until the old is explicitly ejected. In # that case, set needeject to 1. needeject 0 # On some machines there is a delay between when the eject command # finishes and the next tape is ready to be accessed. Set ejectdelay # to the number of seconds to wait after an eject command. This will # almost certainly be needed if multieject is set, probably not if # needeject is used. ejectdelay 0 # Names a status file where the current ``changer'' state is stored. statefile /usr/adm/amanda/csd/changer-status # What are the slot numbers used in the tape rack? firstslot 1 lastslot 4 # Enumerate the device files that go with the particular tape changer # slots.
