NAMEamtape − Control Amanda changers

SYNOPSISamtape [−o configoption...] config subcommand [subcommand_options...]

DESCRIPTIONAmtape is the command−line interface to Amanda's tape changers (amanda-changers(7)) and to the taperscan algorithm (amanda-taperscan(7))​. Tape changers maintain a notion of the current slot for each configuration​. This may or may not correspond to an actual physical state of the device, but is used by some taperscan algorithms to minimize searching through the slots​. Amtape uses the default changer​. To use a different changer, use the config override option, e​.g​., −otpchanger=otherchanger​.

SUBCOMMANDScreate Call the changer create method, it create the vtape root dirtectory or the s3 bucket​. label label Search for and load the Amanda tape with label [label], also setting the current slot​. slot slot [drive drive] Load the volume in the given slot, also setting the current slot​. The slot names current, next, first, and last have special meaning​. current Shorthand for slotcurrent​. inventory Show the contents of all slots, based on the changer's cached metadata​. This is a quick operation as it does not load or unload any volumes, but is not supported by all changers​. show [slots] Show the contents of all slots (or listed slots) by loading each slot and reading its label​. This can be very slow​. The slots arguments is of the form 1,3−5,7​. reset Reset the changer to a known state​. This subcommand is intended to clear any unknown and potentially incorrect state the changer may have stored​. eject [drive] Eject the tape currently in the drive​. This only applies to some changers​. Specify a drive (by drive number) if more than one drive is available​. clean [drive] If a cleaning tape is defined for the changer, used it to clean the specified drive​. The [drive] is optional if the changer only has one drive​. sync−catalog sync the catalog with a device that support it, taper Run the taperscan algorithm (see amanda-taperscan(7)), displaying information about the progress of the scan​. update [what] Update changer state​. Consult amanda-changers(7) for changer−specific details on the format of what​. verify Verify the changer is correctly configured​. Can be useful for chg−robot and chg−ndmp​. −o configoption See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8)​.
