Hi All,
Just come across Bacula and a recent need to backup to tape libraries,
so I have compiled and installed Bacula and it works just fine - my
thanks to the developers.
I have two ATL Powerstore DLT tape libraries (contain 8 tapes each
with barcode readers) and when I configure bacula to use just one, it
works beautifully, however the issue is when I daisy chain them
together on the scsi bus and try and get bacula to use both from a
single host.
Each unit has it own SCSI ID for the controller and the drive i.e /dev/
nst0 and /dev/sg5 and /dev/nst1 and /dev/sg7 - issuing MTX commands
works fine and tapes can be loaded/unloaded etc.....
I can issue a btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 and /dev/
nst1 and the autochanger tests work fine, I think the issue here is
getting bacula to use my units within the storage config directives.
An example is:
1000 OK: pegasus-dir Version: 2.2.7 (24 December 2007)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*update slots
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
The defined Storage resources are:
1: DLT1
2: DLT2
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Connecting to Storage daemon DLT1 at xxxx.xxxxxx.com:9103 ...
3995 Device "DLT1" (/dev/nst0) is not an autochanger.
Enter autochanger drive[0]:
What am I missing here ? or is this not possible ?
I have the following in my bacula-sd.conf
Device {
Name = DLT1 #
Drive Index = 0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = DLT-8000
LabelMedia = yes;
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = no;
RemovableMedia = no;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg5
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
Device {
Name = DLT2 #
Drive Index = 0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = DLT-8000
LabelMedia = yes;
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = no;
RemovableMedia = no;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg7
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
I did comment out the AutoChanger part as it appeared to work if I was
using a single autochanger but with multiple drives which is not the
config I have here.
If anyone has any pointers I would be really grateful.
Kind Regards
Matt Brown
