Folks;
not sure whether this is worth a question around, but I think of my
autochanger configuration to be messed-up somehow. By now I tracked
down things as far as having /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer
successfully (un)loading tapes while being called from a shell.
However, while running btape, it seems that nothing happens:
backer:/etc/bacula# btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:272 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing.
23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing
loaded.
23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0"
command.
23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result:
nothing loaded.
btape: btape.c:338 open device "LTO-2" (/dev/nst0): OK
When checking the loader status using mtx after starting btape this
way, I see the drive is empty. Is there anything else I
am still missing right now?
Environment:
- bacula 1.38.11, Debian unstable, pretty plain configuration by now
- Tandberg LTO-2 autoloader, 1 drive, no barcode reader
- drive-configuration in bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = LTO-2 #
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
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/sg3
AutoChanger = Yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
My configuration has separate entries for the tape and the autoloader:
Autochanger {
Name = 1x8_Autoloader
Device = Ultrium-448
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
}
Device {
Name = Ultrium-448
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
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
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
## Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
# Spooling specs
Spool Directory = /spooling/spool1
Maximum Spool Size = 32000000000 # 32 GB
Maximum Job Spool Size = 8000000000 # 8 GB
}
(and it works :-)
Cheers
