Thanks. Here's what it shows me:
mt: /dev/st0: Input/output error
or
mt: /dev/st0: No medium found
However, bacula is not happy with it. When I issue this command:
*label barcode
I lists the barcoded tapes in all the slots. However, when it attempts to label
them, it throws this:
Connecting to Storage daemon at bacula-test:9103 VXA
Sending label command for Volume "A0000001" Slot 1 ...
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result: nothing loaded.
3304 Issuing autchanger "load slot 1, drive 0" command.
3305 Autochanger "load slot 1, drive 0" status is OK.
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0:, result is Slot 1.
3910 Unable to open device "VXA3" (dev/st0): ERR=dev.c:425 Unable to open
device "VXA3" (dev/st0): ERR=Input/output error
Label command failed for Volume A0000001
Sending label command for Volume "A0000002" Slot 2 ...
And so on.
Here are the pertinent parts of my 'corrected' conf files:
bacula-sd.conf
# Autochanger resource
Autochanger {
Name = "Autochanger"
Device = VXA3
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
Changer Command = "/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %qa %d"
}
# Internal VXA-3 Drive
#
Device {
Name = VXA3
Autochanger = yes
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
Changer Command = "/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %qa %d"
Media Type = VXA-3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
