Hi there I have bacula-1.37.40 running on an Adic Scalar100 (72 slot autochanger, 12 of which are mailbox slots) with two tape drives, and I seem to only be able to use one of the drives at a time - am I right in thinking I should be able to run two jobs simultaneously, one on each drive, provided of course they are on different volumes?
Please find below the relevent configuration sections: --------------- bacula-sd.conf: # Scalar100 Autochanger Autochanger { Name = Scalar100-Autochanger Device = Scalar100-1 Device = Scalar100-2 Changer Command = "/usr/local/bacula-1.37.40/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg1 } # Scalar100 first drive # Device { Name = Scalar100-1 # Media Type = Ultrium-LTO-2 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Drive Index = 0 Changer Command = "/usr/local/bacula-1.37.40/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg1 AutoChanger = yes # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded Alert Command = "sh -c '/usr/local/mtx/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" } # # Scalar100 second drive # Device { Name = Scalar100-2 # Media Type = Ultrium-LTO-2 Archive Device = /dev/nst1 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Drive Index = 1 Changer Command = "/usr/local/bacula-1.37.38/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg1 AutoChanger = yes Alert Command = "sh -c '/usr/local/mtx/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" } ------------ bacula-dir.conf: Director { # define myself Name = breed-dir DIRport = 9101 # where we listen for UA connections QueryFile = "/usr/local/bacula-1.37.40/etc/query.sql" WorkingDirectory = "/usr/local/bacula-1.37.40/var/bacula/working" PidDirectory = "/var/run" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 Password = "asdf" # Console password Messages = Daemon } ... # Definition of tape storage device Storage { Name = Scalar100 # Do not use "localhost" here Address = breed # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here SDPort = 9103 Password = "asdf" # password for Storage daemon Device = Scalar100-Autochanger # must be same as Device in Storage daemon Media Type = Ultrium-LTO-2 # must be same as MediaType in Storage daemon Autochanger = yes # enable for autochanger device } ----------- When I schedule two jobs to run, which are both on different volumes, the second job will wait till the first job has finished using the first drive - it doesn't use the second drive: Running Jobs: JobId Level Name Status ====================================================================== 1633 Increme Breed.2005-11-01_15.51.58 is running 1634 Increme RMAN.2005-11-01_15.52.03 is waiting on max Storage jobs ==== Any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.
