NAME
amlabel - label an Amanda tape
SYNOPSIS
amlabel
[-f]
config label
[
slotslot
]
DESCRIPTION
All Amanda tapes must be pre-labeled before they are used.
Amanda verifies the label in
amdump
and
amflush
before writing to make sure the proper tape is loaded.
Amlabel
writes an Amanda label on the tape in the device specified by the
amanda.conf
file in /etc/amanda/config.
Label
may be any string that does not contain whitespace and that matches the
amanda.conflabelstr
regular expression option.
It is up to the system administrator to define a naming convention.
Amlabel
appends the new tape to the
tapelist
file so it will be used by Amanda before it reuses any other
tapes.
When you
amlabel
multiple tapes, they will be used in the
order you
amlabel
them.
Amlabel
will not write the label if the tape contains an active
Amanda tape or if the label specified is on an active tape.
The
-f
(force) flag bypasses these verifications.
An optional
slot
may be specified after the tape label.
If a tape changer is in use,
amlabel
will label the tape in the specified slot
instead of the currently loaded tape.
See the
amanda(8)
man page for more details about Amanda.
EXAMPLE
Write an Amanda label with the string "DMP000" on
the tape loaded in the device named in the
tapedev
option in /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf:
% amlabel DailySet1 DMP000
Label the tape in slot 3 of the currently configured tape changer
with the string "DMP003":
% amlabel DailySet1 DMP003 slot 3
MESSAGES
label label doesn't match labelstr "str"
Label
label
on the command line does not match the
labelstr
regular expression
str
from
amanda.conf.
label label already on a tape
Label
label
is already listed as an active Amanda tape.
no tpchanger specified in "path", so slot command invalid
The command line has the
slot
parameter but the
amanda.conf
file in
path
does not have a tape changer configured.
reading label label, tape is in another amanda configuration
This tape appears to be a valid Amanda tape,
but label does not match
labelstr
for this configuration so it is probably part of a different
Amanda configuration.
reading label label, tape is active
Tape
label
appears to already be part of this Amanda configuration
and active, i.e. has valid data on it.
no label found, are you sure tape is non-rewinding?
While checking that the label was written correctly,
amlabel
got an error that might be caused by mis-configuring Amanda
with a rewinding tape device name
instead of a non-rewinding device name for
tape.
