Hi,
I'm running 1.36.3 on RHEL WS 3 built from Scott Barninger's source rpm:
bacula-1.36.3-1.src.rpm. I've gotten 21 machines (about 500GB worth of
Fulls) up and running using an 8 tape LTO-2 autoloader and it all looks
very good so far. Thanks to everyone who has worked on this wonderful
piece of software.
Anyway, my question. I have the 8 loaded tapes assigned to two pools (6
in one and 2 in the other). I have run "update slots scan" and it all
looks right and seems to be working (so far) but "list pools" shows 5
tapes in one pool and 1 tape in the other. Is this a bug? Something I
have done wrong?
Oh, you will likely run in more trouble once you start unloading,
loading, moving and especially updating tapes - 1.36.anything doesn't
really support media from different pools in one autochanger.
Before investigating further, I suggest you give the development version
1.37.40 or .41 a try - it is still considered unstable, but works fine
enough (here and in other places). With a straightforward setup like you
have, I think there should be no unexpected problems. It implements many
features around a more flexible volume management. But it does require a
catalog database upgrade, and slight configuration changes.
Here is the output from list pools and list media. Sorry about the
formatting on the latter - it's way too wide for email and I don't see
an obvious way to improve that. The gist is that "list media" shows 6
volumes in my Full pool and 2 in my Partial pool while "list pools"
shows 5 and 1.
At my location, it shows the correct numbers, not starting with 0.
You can correct that, though. That's where the sqlquery command helps a
lot, but you should know enough about SQL to not damage your catalog. If
you do, you don't need my advice here :-)
(But if you need help, just say so...)
