First of all, the storage daemon, file daemon, and directory all reside on
the same computer. It will be mounting our Isilon via nfs and backing up the
nfs directories. I stopped all daemons, wiped the DB, and recreated it.
After that I tested the DB and restarted all the daemons. Next I opened
bconsole and typed label to label a new tape. The tapes were placed into
slots 83 through 102 by the loader and I have left them there. They have
VolumeTags 000001 - 000020, based on their bar codes.
Storage Element 83:Full :VolumeTag=000001
Storage Element 84:Full :VolumeTag=000002
Storage Element 85:Full :VolumeTag=000003
Storage Element 86:Full :VolumeTag=000004
Storage Element 87:Full :VolumeTag=000005
Storage Element 88:Full :VolumeTag=000006
Storage Element 89:Full :VolumeTag=000007
Storage Element 90:Full :VolumeTag=000008
Storage Element 91:Full :VolumeTag=000009
Storage Element 92:Full :VolumeTag=000010
Storage Element 93:Full :VolumeTag=000011
Storage Element 94:Full :VolumeTag=000012
Storage Element 95:Full :VolumeTag=000013
Storage Element 96:Full :VolumeTag=000014
Storage Element 97:Full :VolumeTag=000015
Storage Element 98:Full :VolumeTag=000016
Storage Element 99:Full :VolumeTag=000017
Storage Element 100:Full :VolumeTag=000018
Storage Element 101:Full :VolumeTag=000019
Storage Element 102:Full :VolumeTag=000020
All four tape drives are empty at this point.
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Data Transfer Element 1:Empty
Data Transfer Element 2:Empty
Data Transfer Element 3:Empty
After I typed label, bacula spun for ~3 minutes before connecting to the
storage daemon (which is local).

Label command failed for Volume OVS_0001.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
*
So the label fails with "No medium found". I am not sure why. I will include
snippets from my config files.
### bacula-dir.conf Snippets ###
Storage {
Name = Dell
Address = count
SDPort = 9103
Password = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Device = Dell
Media Type = LTO-4
Autochanger = Yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
### bacula-sd.conf Snippets ###

Archive Device = /dev/nst3
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = LTO-4
Autochanger = Yes
Changer Device = /dev/sg4

Drive Index = 3
Autoselect = Yes
AlwaysOpen = Yes;
RemovableMedia = Yes;
RandomAccess = No;
RequiresMount = No;
}
One thing I will note is that the tape cartridge is successfully placed into
drive 0 during the label command as now I have this:
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 83 Loaded):VolumeTag =
000001
Data Transfer Element 1:Empty
Data Transfer Element 2:Empty
Data Transfer Element 3:Empty
...
Storage Element 83:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 84:Full :VolumeTag=000002
Storage Element 85:Full :VolumeTag=000003
Storage Element 86:Full :VolumeTag=000004
Storage Element 87:Full :VolumeTag=000005
Storage Element 88:Full :VolumeTag=000006
Storage Element 89:Full :VolumeTag=000007
Storage Element 90:Full :VolumeTag=000008
Storage Element 91:Full :VolumeTag=000009
Storage Element 92:Full :VolumeTag=000010
Storage Element 93:Full :VolumeTag=000011
Storage Element 94:Full :VolumeTag=000012
Storage Element 95:Full :VolumeTag=000013

Storage Element 100:Full :VolumeTag=000018
Storage Element 101:Full :VolumeTag=000019
Storage Element 102:Full :VolumeTag=000020
Did I do something wrong? I've successfully used Bacula with a 15 slot AIT
loader with one tape engine. I am not sure why I am having so many problems
with this setup.
