I'm having a weird problem with my tests of bacula for our install.
For the most part everything was going well--my autochanger tests fine
using btape as do the individual tapes drives, basic job defs, clients
on two different OSes (Gentoo & RHEL AS 4), etc. My director's OS is
Gentoo 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 using unmasked Bacula 2.0.3.
In trying to get both tape drives to work without logically
partitioning my tape library, I read in the archives that I needed to
configure job definitions to use the autochanger rather than tape
drives (which wasn't clear from the docs btw) in the director config,
and also to have autochanger and tape drive entries for each drive in
the sd config.
So I did that, but now I am getting an error where the test backups won't run:
31-May 18:17 backup01-sd: monitor1-fd.2007-05-31_18.17.00 Fatal error:
Device "LTOdrv-2" with MediaType "LTO Autochanger" requested by
DIR not found in SD Device resources.
31-May 18:17 backup01-dir: monitor1-fd.2007-05-31_18.17.00 Fatal error:
Storage daemon didn't accept Device "LTOdrv-2" because:
3924 Device "LTOdrv-2" not in SD Device resources.
However, both drives *are* in the SD resources and bacula-sd has been
restarted (several) times since it was added (e.g. the conf file
syntax is correct).
Here are my SD config stanzas:
Autochanger {
Name = DellTL4000
Description = "Dell TL4000 Tape Library"
Device = LTOdrv-1, LTOdrv-2
Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}
Device {
Name = LTOdrv-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
AutoChanger = yes
Maximum Spool Size = 32212254720
Spool Directory = /bacula_tmp
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
Device {
Name = LTOdrv-2
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
AutoChanger = yes
Maximum Spool Size = 32212254720
Spool Directory = /bacula_tmp
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
Definitions from bacula-dir:
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
FileSet = "Gentoo Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = DellTL4000
SpoolData = yes
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
Storage {
Name = DellTL4000
Description = "Dell TL4000 Tape Library"
Address = 10.1.1.100 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
MediaType = "LTO Autochanger"
Device = LTOdrv-1, LTOdrv-2
Autochanger = yes
Password = "md5_hash" # passwd for Storage daemon
}
Storage {
Name = LTOdrv-1
Address = 10.1.1.100 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "md5_hash" # passwd for Storage daemon
Device = LTOdrv-1 # must be same as Device in Storage daemon
Media Type = LTO-3 # must be same as MediaType in Storage daemon
Autochanger = yes # enable for autochanger device
}
Storage {
Name = LTOdrv-2
Address = 10.1.1.100 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "md5_hash" # passwd for Storage daemon
Device = LTOdrv-2 # must be same as Device in Storage daemon
Media Type = LTO-3 # must be same as MediaType in Storage daemon
Autochanger = yes # enable for autochanger device
}
====
I've tried "Device = LTOdrv-1, LTOdrv-2" as well as one "Device =
tape_name" for each. There's no weird characters in the conf files.
Any suggestions? I can santize and post up my full conf files to
pastebin if folks would like to look at the whole shebang.
Also, I found that where bacula-dir *requires* a "MediaType" entry for
the autochanger's Storage stanza, the "Autochanger" stanza in
bacula-sd throws an error if you include a MediaType entry and the
storage daemon will not start. This is an inconsistancy IMO, and
directly conflicts with the documentation as far as I have been able
to find (I haven't exhaustively read the documentation, but think I've
covered the most pertinent portions).
I appreciate any suggestions from folks, as testing was going well
using just one tape drive and no autochanger definition.
