When I unmount a volume using the bconsole unmount command, bacula
blocks access to the tape drive until I mount another volume. Is there
a way to config it so the drive isn't blocked when a tape is unmounted
from within bconsole? If I unmount the tape drive I'd like it to be
able to grab and mount the proper tape automatically when the next job
starts, unless I deliberately want to block it from executing jobs.
Items that sound sort of helpful in the manual are some combination of
AutomaticMount, AlwaysOpen, Close On Poll, Volume Poll Interval, and
Offline On Unmount.
However, I'd like it to be able to get the load status of a the drive
and if a tape is loaded it shouldn't need to rewind/fast forward on each
job after a pause. Anybody worked kind of configuration out already?
Otherwise autochanger and backup stuff seems to be working well.
Here's what's in my bacula-sd.conf
Autochanger {
Name = Dell-PV136T
Device = IBMLTO2-1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}
Device {
Name = IBMLTO2-1
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
Offline On Unmount = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutoChanger = yes
SpoolDirectory = /home/baculaspool
Maximum Spool Size = 200gb
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
And here's what's in my bacula-dir.conf relative to the changer
Storage {
Name = Dell-PV136T
Autochanger = yes
Address = gyrus
SDPort = 9103
Device = Dell-PV136T
Media Type = LTO-2
Password = ""
}
