Hi,
I want to set up Bacula to automatically label any blank volumes. The
volumes in question are DLT tapes, using a plain tape drive (no
autochanger).
The director's configuration is slightly complicated by the fact that
there are two SDs in my configuration which are geographically separate
(the bandwidth available over SCSI is substantially higher than the
bandwidth we can afford to lay on between two countries). Nevertheless,
I think I've got that part of the problem cracked, because if I use a
pre-labelled tape, I can run backups as intended.
The SD which needs to have its tapes autolabelled has the following
Device stanza:
Device {
Name = "DLT-160"
Media Type = DLT-Tape
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
}
The pool which refers to this device is:
Pool {
Name = DailyTape-DLT
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = Yes
AutoPrune = yes
Storage = DLT-Tape
LabelFormat = "Daily-DLT-"
Recycle Current Volume = yes
}
I understand that I must attempt to mount an unlabelled tape before
Bacula will label it. I've done this, and then I kick off a backup. I
would have expected Bacula to realise that there are no appropriate
tapes available BUT there's a blank one mounted, and to label it
appropriately.
Instead, however, I get this:
*

31-Jul 16:14 gemini-dir: Start Backup JobId 4719,
Job=dns-france.france.u4eatech.com.2007-07-31_16.14.38
31-Jul 16:14 gemini-dir: Created new Volume "Daily-DLT-0006" in catalog.
31-Jul 16:14 taranis-sd: Please mount Volume "Daily-DLT-0006" on Storage
Device "DLT-160" (/dev/nst0) for Job
dns-france.france.u4eatech.com.2007-07-31_16.14.38
- and it'll sit there indefinitely waiting for me to mount a volume
which it's created in the catalog but not labelled.
The director is running 2.0.3 (gentoo build), the SD is running 2.0.3-4
(debian etch) - is it possible that there's an incompatibility between
these versions or have I missed something?
Many thanks,
James Cort
