However, I have a tape library that has a barcode reader and in the 1.36.3 documentation P 280, it talks about this:
"Bacula provides barcode support with two Console commands, label barcodes and update slots. The label barcodes will cause Bacula to read the barcodes of all the cassettes that are currently installed in the magazine (cassette holder) using the mtx-changer list command. Each cassette is mounted in turn and labeled with the same Volume name as the barcode.
The update slots command will rst obtain the list of cassettes and their barcodes from mtx-changer. Then it will find each volume in turn in the catalog database corresponding to to the barcodes and set its Slot to correspond to the value just read. If the Volume is not in the catalog, then nothing will be done. This command is useful for synchronizing Bacula with the current magazine in case you have changed magazines or in case you have moved cassettes from one slot to another."
When I tried to run "label barcodes"
Connecting to Director banach.math.purdue.edu:9101 1000 OK: banach-dir Version: 1.36.3 (22 April 2005) Enter a period to cancel a command. *label barcode Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula Automatically selected Storage: SDLT1 Connecting to Storage daemon SDLT1 at banach.math.purdue.edu:9103 ... 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded. 3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command. Illegal character "=" in a volume name. Invalid Volume name: 1:Full:VolumeTag=000065
This is aproblem with parsing the output of mtx status.
If you know how to modify a sed script, you can simply change the mtx-changer script accordingly. Or, you try uncommenting the line prepared for the VXA autoloaders. Fromlooking at it, it should work for you.
The documentation sounds like it is suppose to find the tape, load into the tape drive using the mtx-changer, and label the tape with the barcode.
Yup.
Thanks

Having just made the same mistake 1hr ago, no the mount command
doesn't
load the tape as you would think.
Now if you have a schedule job and the automounter is working
correctly
it will determine you have no tape and attempt to mount one.
However if you are attempting to change the tape yourself you need to umount, load the tape (mtx-changer ...), then mount.
Hope that helps.

I am trying to test/learn the bacula package but already stumped. I
have
a STK L10 library with one SDLT 220 tape drive.
I have set up the mx-changer and have tested thoroughly.
I start up bconsole ran setdebug 10 and run the command "mount
SDLT1"
which SLDT is my storage device in bacula-sd.conf. I get the
following
message:
Connecting to Storage daemon SDLT1 at banach.math.purdue.edu:9103 3000 OK setdebug=10 Connecting to Client Banach at banach.math.purdue.edu:9102 2000 OK setdebug=10 *mount SDLT1 3901 open device failed: ERR=dev.c:289 stored: unable to open
device

This makes sense as I am trying to load a tape into /dev/rmt/1cbn.
What am I missing? Should not the mount command try and load the
tape
into the tape drive?
Thanks
