Could you elaborate on which line, please?
I am having the same problem with a VXA AutoPak and v. 1.38.3. mtx-changer
returns the correct slot count but bconsole says its "0", which blocks the
loading of tapes for labeling.
>From my bacula-sd.conf:
Autochanger {
Name = AutoPak
Device = Drive-1, Drive-2
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg4
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = VXA
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
Device {
Name = Drive-2 #
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = VXA
Archive Device = /dev/nst2
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
