Hi Arno,
Thanks for the quick reply. I did actually try to implement the
"autochanger" configuration but ran into mounting problems. So, my thought
was to get the configuration working that worked before.
Good thought, but as far as I know that won't work...
The problem was that I was unable to specify a drive (by its index) to be
mounted/unmounted, it always ran the command on drive 0.
Definition of tape storage device in the director configuration:
Storage {
Name = Autochanger
Address = 216.113.192.114
SDPort = 9103
Password = "quiGfr+aOr7e/v7a8ghWsIsmV7zTocCadJKR3puuHj1c"
Device = DLT8000-1
Device = DLT8000-2
This might be the problem. Try specifying 'Device=Autochanger' here.
Media Type = DLT8000
Autochanger = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8
<<<
The autochanger and DLT 8000 Drives as defined in the storage configuration:
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = DLT8000-1
Device = DLT8000-2
Here, the actual drives are linked to the device the DIR sees.
Changer Command = "/usr/local/bacula/scripts/chio-bacula %c %o %s %d"
Changer Device = /dev/ch0
}
Device {
Name = DLT8000-1
Description = "DLT8000-1"
Media Type = DLT8000
Archive Device = /dev/sa0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AutoChanger= yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes
Hardware End of Medium = no
BSF at EOM = yes
Backward Space Record = no
Fast Forward Space File = no
TWO EOF = yes
Drive Index = 0
Spool Directory = /spool
Maximum Job Spool Size = 8G
Maximum Spool Size = 120G
}
Device {
Name = DLT8000-2
Description = "DLT8000-2"
Media Type = DLT8000
Archive Device = /dev/sa1
AutomaticMount = yes;
AutoChanger= yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes
Hardware End of Medium = no
BSF at EOM = yes
Backward Space Record = no
Fast Forward Space File = no
TWO EOF = yes
Drive Index = 1
Spool Directory = /spool
Maximum Job Spool Size = 8G
Maximum Spool Size = 120G
}
<<<
Did I miss something that would specify the drives more clearly to bacula?
Only the definition for the DIR as far as I can tell. The drive indices
should be ok, and the rest of the drives setup doesn't need modification.
After you did the changes, and in case it doesn't work out, try running
the SD with debug output (can be set from the console using the setdebug
command) and have a look at the output from 'status
storage=Autochanger'. It should list the autochanger setup as seen by
the DIR, and also the status of the two drives.
And, in case you see the debug output from the SD (which would require a
restart of the SD with the -d switch AFAIK) you might find some useful
information concerning drive selection there.
Hopefully you get that set up soon so you can lean back watching the
backup run for the rest of the night :-)

Greetings everyone,
We have recently been having a problem where Bacula is no longer
automatically changing tapes and it is requiring manual intervention.
Below
is what I see in the logs:
24-Jan 12:08 storage: End of Volume "CUZ277" at 64:8114 on device
"DLT8000-2" (/dev/sa1). Write of 64512 bytes got 0.

24-Jan 12:11 storage: Please mount Volume "CUZ306" on Storage Device
"DLT8000-2" (/dev/sa1) for Job webhosting1.2006-01-24_05.00.13
<<<
We are running bacula 1.38.2 (recently upgraded from 1.36.3 where this
used
to work) on FreeBSD 5.4 and the tape drives (Quantum DLT8000) are within
an
ATL (96 slot) Autochanger.
Ok, that's the hint... you recently upgraded.
First, verify that you've got the necessary and newly introduced
Autochanger section in SD configuration. If you've not got that, you
have to kill your running jobs :-| because the SD needs a restart after
that modification. (And remember to do the full btape test routine after
modifying the SD configuration...)
Apart from that, I guess the catalog is not yet in the right state, i.e.
the relationship between the Media information Slot and InChanger and
the newly created StorageId is not correct.
Try to clear all changer-related information from the catalog, for
example using a sql query like 'update Media set Slot=0,InChanger=0;'
and do an 'update slots' afterwards. Should work, then.

From what I can see everything is set up correctly. Also, I am able to run
the load, unload, loaded commands from the command prompt (using
chio-bacula) successfully.
Our configuration files include:
