Mr Robert,
I don't want to waste your time, nor the other's ! I just asked for a simple
configuration for my HP StorageWorks 1/8 Ultrium 232 Tape Autoloader If it's a
waste of time for you and the list I will understand and stop harassing you
with my stupid newbie questions !
I want just to say that I read the docs but I did not find something realy
Windows/Tape Autoloader oriented (note: the config here is the one given in the
installed files)
I really apologize for the time I'm making you wasting ! I've get a wrong start
and now no one wants to help me ! I believed that this list is for helping
people new to bacula like me and who did not understand very well the
documentation, but I think I was too much wrong.
I think it's just cased by the fact that I don't use my professional email in
the list ?!
Anyway, is there any one who can give me a simple storage definition for an HP
StorageWorks 1/8 Ultrium 232 Tape Autoloader ? I will be very grateful !
Thanks
Nawfel

Well at least you read the part about
starting with the configs that were installed. However you havent
adjusted them to match your configuration. Instead of wasting everyones
time posting without thinking. READ THE DOCUMENTATION AND ADJUST THE
CONFIGURATIONS TO SUIT YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Thank you all for your
help,
I modified my files to get this config :
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-1
Device = Drive-2
Changer Command = "mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = 4:0:5:1 #Changer0
}
Device {
Name =
Drive-1
#
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = DLT-8000
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = Tape0
AutomaticMount =
yes
# when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert"
}
Device {
Name =
Drive-2
#
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = DLT-8000
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = Tape1
AutomaticMount =
yes
# when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert"
}
I want to test with only 2 tapes but I get this log :

I think the DLT-8000 is not the best Media Type to put there ! am I right ?
(;-)) please, if you know which media type I have to specify for my HP
StorageWorks 1/8 Ultrium 232 Tape Autoloader ?
I feel like stuck there ! please help me !
Sincerly yours

Hi Robert,
This comment is in reference to the conversation about using HP Windows
Drivers.
In my conversations with HP and other vendors about drivers and tape
drives on Windows, the consensus seemed to be that using Windows drivers
created more problems that they solved. Their advice was to address
the
scsi devices directly. The benefits are increased throughput and
fewer
problems communicating with the devices.
I do not have experience running the Bacula sd on Windows, but I have
run other enterprise backup systems on Windows and this was the advice I
was given by the vendors. IIRC, the issue is with scsi device
command
communication, and the applications handled it better directly with the
devices than through the Windows drivers.
The earlier advice about determining the device id's using scsilist.exe
would facilitate this, I think.
FWIW.
