Hi, I am a first time user of Bacula trying to get a Sun L280 DLT7000 tape drive (operating mode set to random) with autochanger working.
I have confirmed the drive works with the btape test however am having no luck getting the autochanger to play the game. When running a autochanger test (btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 then auto) it either times out with: --- 02-Nov 21:45 btape: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 1. btape: btape.c:1198 Bad status from rewind. ERR=dev.c:678 Rewind error on "SUN-L280" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error. --- OR after playing with the config (see below) I get --- 3302 Issuing autochanger "unload 1 0" command. unload status=Bad 268435457 3992 Bad autochanger command: /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg1 unload 1 /dev/nst0 0 3992 result="Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 1...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes ": ERR=Child exited with code 1 3303 Issuing autochanger "load 1 0" command. 3993 Bad autochanger command: /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg1 load 1 /dev/nst0 0 3993 result="mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes ": ERR=Child exited with code 1 You must correct this error or the Autochanger will not work. --- I've tried increasing the wait time with sleep 15 and using the wait_for_drive function in the mtx-changer script with no success. Can anyone provide a few pointers as to what I'm doing wrong? I'm running Debian 3.1 and using backport Bacula version 1.38.11-5 Cut from bacula-sd.conf --- Autochanger { Name = L280-Library Device = SUN-L280 Changer Device = /dev/sg1 Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" } Device { Name = SUN-L280 # Media Type = DLT7000 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; # LabelMedia = no; # RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = yes; AutoChanger = yes # Offline On Unmount = no # Hardware End of Medium = no # BSF at EOM = yes # Backward Space Record = no # Fast Forward Space File = no # TWO EOF = yes # Drive Index = 0 # Changer Device = /dev/sg1 # Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" # Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" } --- Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
