RE: Tape list problem

[Kashif Chaudhry]

Not much to go on.  Was it getting "updated" before?  What kind of update do you mean?  What are you doing that should change it?   Show us what the tape list looks like before you do something, then what you actually did that you thought should change it, what responses amanda gave, and what the tape list looks like afterward.   -- Jon H.

Yes it was getting updated before. I meant once I replaced the tapes in the tape device with new once. Amanda does not update its tape list file with new information.   New tape's also has all the barcodes and barcodes starts from A00140-A00179 but the Amanda's tape list file still showing the list of old tapes instead of new once e.g;   Old tape list looks like this;   20040730 CSODailySet1-A00121 reuse 20040528 CSODailySet1-A00128 reuse 20040526 CSODailySet1-A00127 reuse 20040524 CSODailySet1-A00126 reuse 20040521 CSODailySet1-A00125 reuse 20040520 CSODailySet1-A00124 reuse 20040518 CSODailySet1-A00123 reuse 20040101 CSODailySet1-A00109 reuse 20031007 CSODailySet1-A00116 reuse   After changing the tapes this is what I get;   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc/amanda # amcheck CSODailySet1/ Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /home/amandaholding: 3423158 KB disk space available, using 1326006 KB amcheck-server: fatal slot 24: Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 24...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes ERROR: label CSODailySet1-A00116 or new tape not found in rack        (expecting tape CSODailySet1-A00116 or a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test Server check took 28.256 seconds   But the information in tape list does not changes at all it still shows the old information.     Thanks   Kashif   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon LaBadie Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 5:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Tape list problem   On Thu, Oct 28, 2004 at 04:49:16PM -0400, Kashif Chaudhry wrote: >  > Hi, > > I am a new Amanda user and running into the problem updating the tape > list.
