I am trying to get Bacula up and running on a Debian Stable system. I
have been able to use btape to check out the the ability of the box to
write to the tape drive - everything seems fine, and I can mount a tape,
but when I try to run a little test job on the system itself, I error
out. It appears to me that I have a problem with naming devices
Here are some appropriate messages / conf info:
>From bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = HP-C1557A
Media Type = DDS-3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d";
Changer Device = /dev/sg0;
AutoChanger = yes;
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'";
}
>From bacula-dir.conf:
# Definition of DDS tape storage device
Storage {
Name = HP-C1557A
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = SD02102JYGZD014 # N.B. Use a fully qualified
name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "" # password for Storage daemon
Device = HP-C1557A # must be same as Device in
Storage daemon
Media Type = DDS-3 # must be same as MediaType in
Storage daemon
}
Mounting the tape drive in bconsole:
*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: HP-C1557A
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
3001 Mounted Volume: tapetestX
3001 Device /dev/st0 is mounted with Volume "tapetestX"
Error message after run in bconsole:
20-Jun 11:25 SD02102JYGZD014-sd: Client1.2006-06-20_11.24.57 Fatal
error:
Device "HP-C1557A" with MediaType "DDS-3" requested by Dir not
found in SD Device resources.
20-Jun 11:25 SD02102JYGZD014-dir: Client1.2006-06-20_11.24.57 Fatal
error:
Storage daemon didn't accept Device "HP-C1557A" because:
3924 Device "HP-C1557A" not in SD Device resources.
NOTE: if I change Device = HP-C1557A to Device = /dev/st0 in
bacula-dir.conf and then run the job, I get the same errors as before,
but with "/dev/st0" instead
Any help appreciated. While I am not a trembling virgin with Linux, I
haven't set up a backup server with a tape drive before.......
