My system has one internal VXA-1 and an external RakPak, with two VXA-1 drives.
In earlier experiments with Bacula, all drives were available and had been
successfully used, at least to lable tapes, if not to run backup jobs.
I began experiencing difficulties with Bacula using one of the RakPak drives.
Since then I have replaced SuSE ES 9.1 with RH 9.0, but the problem persists.
If I try to mount a tape in the left drive on the RakPak, here is what Bacula
tells me:
Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula
3999 Device "LeftDrive" not found
Here are the pertinent parts of bacula-sd.conf and bacula-dir.conf:
SD --
Device {
Name = LeftDrive
Media Type = VXA-1
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
DIR --
Storage {
Name = Left
Address = lbackup
SDPort = 9103
Password = "[here is the password]"
Device = LeftDrive
Media Type = VXA-1
}
The InternalDrive and RightDrive, both of which work, are defined in the SD
just like the LeftDrive, except that they have different names and use
/dev/nst0 and /dev/nst2, respectively. Upon examination, I discovered that the
line "Name = LeftDrive" did not end at the "e", but had a trailing space, so I
removed it, then stopped Bacula and re-started it. It didn't make any
difference.
