I am having trouble getting amanda configured and running here. I have
an Exabyte 8200 tape drive connected to an NCR 53C810 based adapter and
am running -stable as of 9/9. The problem I'm having is getting amanda
to label a tape (via amlabel). It always complains thusly:
#amlabel pmr VOL001
rewinding, writing label VOL001amlabel: rewinding tape: Input/output error
an amcheck evokes the following response:
#amcheck pmr
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
/usr8/amanda/work: 906638 KB disk space available, that's plenty.
ERROR: /dev/nrst1: not an amanda tape.
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writeable test.
Server check took 37.242 seconds.
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: obiwan: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 hosts checked in 30.066 seconds, 1 problems found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.2.6)
As expected, it is not happy with the tape :-(
Can any of you amanda users/experts tell me what I'm doing wrong, or
have forgotten to do??
Oh yeah, the tape drive and tape being used work fine with dump, tar, etc.
Thanks,
