Hi, I tried to configure bacula to use our Qualstart TLS-4120 AIT-2 autochanger on a debian sarge system with bacula 1.36.3.
To get the mtx-changer script to work, I enabled the following line: mt -f $device offline Now I'm able to use the script ot load/unload the tapes: # /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 list 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: That ok, only 6 slots are loaded with tapes. # /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 slots 0 /dev/st0 0 13 # /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 load 3 /dev/st0 0 # mtx -f /dev/sg3 status Storage Changer /dev/sg3:1 Drives, 13 Slots ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 3 Loaded) Storage Element 1:Full Storage Element 2:Full Storage Element 3:Empty Storage Element 4:Full Storage Element 5:Full Storage Element 6:Full Storage Element 7:Empty Storage Element 8:Empty Storage Element 9:Empty Storage Element 10:Empty Storage Element 11:Empty Storage Element 12:Empty Storage Element 13 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty # /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 loaded 0 /dev/st0 0 3 # /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 unload 3 /dev/st0 0 Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 3...done I have to use the full command here, it would fail to set the tape device offline. # /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg3 loaded 0 /dev/st0 0 0 So far, everything looks good. Here is the relevant bacula-sd.conf part: Device { Name = Autochanger Media Type = AIT-2 Archive Device = /dev/st0 Changer Device = /dev/sg3 Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Autochanger = yes LabelMedia =yes; AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; #Mount Anonymous Volumes = no; } And the bacula-dir.conf storage part: # Definition of AIT-2 tape storage device Storage { Name = Autochanger Address = epefp119 SDPort = 9103 Password = "" Device = Autochanger Media Type = AIT-2 Autochanger = yes } I've try to get the status of the the automounter I get this: *status The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: Autochanger Select Storage resource (1-2): 2 Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at epefp119:9103 epefp119-sd Version: 1.36.3 (22 April 2005) i386-pc-linux-gnu debian 3.1 Daemon started 11-Jan-06 17:17, 0 Jobs run since started.

Archive "Autochanger" is not open or does not exist. I think this is not what I should see at this point. *label The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: Autochanger Select Storage resource (1-2): 2 Enter new Volume name: Test2 Enter slot (0 for none): 2 Automatically selected Pool: Default Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at epefp119:9103 ...
