You are correct, unless you think they managed to cram 12 drives in a 2U
form factor or the first email mis-quoted the model of the tape library ;)
It seems to be a 2U, 1 Drive, 12 Slot loader
So your bacula-dir.conf should contain something like:
Storage {
Name = Overland
Address = <whatever>
SDPort = 9103
Password = <you must be kidding me>
Device = Overland
Media Type = <Something else important here>
Autochanger = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8
}
Then your -sd.conf should have something like:
Autochanger {
Name = Overland
Device = Overland.0
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = <The changer device here, /dev/sg1 maybe?>
}
Device {
Name = Overland.0
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = <Something else important here>
Archive Device = <where ever your tape dev is, /dev/nst0 maybe>;
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Autochanger = yes;
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}
The mtx-changer script may need changing of course, but this -should- work.
