hi there,
i have a problem with bacula wanting to use a tape i removed from the tape
library.
steps i did were:
- label 8 tapes by their barcode (label barcode, 000001L3 to 000008L3)
- remove 6 of those tapes
- made backups on the remaining 2 tapes 000001L3 and 000002L3 (only one
tape was needed)
- after a week removed the two tapes from the lib
bconsole <<EOFI
wait
umount
1 # 1 is the tape lib, 2 would be "file" storage
EOFI
mtx -f /dev/sg1 eject
- inserted two other volumes (000003L3 and 000004L3) from the previously
labeled (pool default), updated slots
##update slots
#The defined Storage resources are:
# 1: PV-124T
# 2: File
#Select Storage resource (1-2): Unexpected question has been received.
#1
#Connecting to Storage daemon PV-124T at nas01:9103 ...
#3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
#Device "PV-124T" has 8 slots.
#Connecting to Storage daemon PV-124T at nas01:9103 ...
#3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
#Catalog record for Volume "000004L3" updated to reference slot 1.
#Catalog record for Volume "000003L3" updated to reference slot 8.
##
still bacula wants to write to the first tape (000001L3) and blocks new
jobs.
InChanger flag is set for tapes 000003L3 and 000004L3
##list volumes

but still

#In Use Volume status:

in summary: 8 tapes are in the dafault pool, i want to use 2 of them in
weekly cycle
( tape 1&2 at week 1, tape 3&4 at week 2.... ).
how can i tell bacula only to write to volumes it finds with "InChanger"
flag set in the db and not to try to write to a volume that has been
removed from the lib?
