Hello Bacula experts,
i'm using bacula 2.0.1 and experiance problems with an vxa-320 autochanger. Sometimes tapes don't get mounted, sometimes bacula reports i/o-Errors.
In the following you find 2 Parts of the bacula-logs:

I'm worried reading of "read errors". And i wonder why it looks as if backup would have started in the end.....

Is my hardware defect?
Any help is apreciated.

Best greetings,
Markus



Sorry Markus,

my reply to your question was only sent to you and not to the list.

You can download the latest firmware for the paketloader and the tapedrive directly from exabyte (the originale manufacturer of the tapeloader) under http://www.exabyte.com/support/online/downloads/index.cfm.

The usage of the alternative aic7xxx module is just a workaround for the bad firmware off the tapedrive. the actual fw for the tapedrive is V13206 (which has the problem with the aic7xxx module) but a new version is coming soon. I have an older V13205 which works fine with the aic77xx.

For flashing a new firmware you have to use the "libtool" for linux (for flashing fw into packetloader) or the "vxatool" for linux (for flashing the drives fw).

I have a exabyte packetloader 320 running under SLES9Sp3 with device /dev/st0 for the tapedrive and /dev/sg0 for the loader
