Martin, I also setup a system with and HP Storageworks 1/8 using LTO2 in the past 3 weeks. The only change I had to make was to add a sleep statement or two in the mtx-changer script.
This is my first experience with Bacula. It is working great. The documentation is very good and has examples. Many thanks to all who developed and support this program.

I have one myself. Just didn't submitted a compatibility report so that it could be included in the supported list because my tests weren't that exaustive. My server just got back up after a couple of months of inactivity so I'll be configuring it slowly in the next few day's. I already have the postgresql database and the bacula engines running on file devices so next will be hooking up some clients and then the autoloader. I did I this way: 1 - find the proper devices, the changer and the tape one 2 - get the mtx tools working with the changer and tar with the tape 3 - get the mtx-changer script working (I can't recall if I had to change it last time) Wich is basically what Chris told you :) If you get in trouble email me and the list and we can exchange some config's.

It will probably just work. First of all try using mtx to control the changer. Then try using it is a normal tape drive (e.g tar cvzf /dev/nst0 /) Then try using bacula to treat it as a normal tape, manually use mtx to change tapes when needed. (test with btape's fill - see the manual). Next configure bacula to use it as an autochanger, possibly modifying mtx-changer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
