run the btape test to see if all those drives are working. there are some tests you can run from mtx to see if your autochanger is working as well.
to run btape test type btape -c /usr/bin/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/(yourdriveshere) then it enters into a program and you can type test if they are valid. and i think its also a way to test your config. you have to shutdown bacula director and storage dameon to run that i believe. http://www.lllf.uam.es/~antonio/documentos/bacula/dev-manual/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html#SECTION004021000000000000000 if you have lsscsi installed its easy to find out what the drives are. lsscsi -g gives you a output thats useable. having already installed these i assume you know all of this already. i am having a similar problem with the lto 4 drive i have. let me know if you get it working i would like to see how. i have been working on mine for sometime trying to get it working. i hope i was of any help joe watson -----Original Message----- From: Mitch Anderson [mailto:mi...@metauser.net] Sent: Sat 9/26/2009 1:38 PM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] One Library LTO3 and LTO4 drives Hi, I've been looking around for a while... and I haven't found anything to answer a question... I'm running bacula-3.0.1 x86_64. I have an HP MSL8096, which has two LTO3 drives in in and we just got a new LTO4 drive. I'm getting an error when trying to use the new LTO4 drive with the LTO4 tapes... (trying to run label barcodes) Sending label command for Volume "GFZ452L4" Slot 46 ... 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 2" command. 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 2", result: nothing loaded. 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 46, drive 2" command. 3992 Bad autochanger "load slot 46, drive 2": ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination. Results=Program killed by Bacula (timeout) Currently my bacula-sd.conf looks like: Autochanger { Name = Autochanger Device = lto3-1 Device = lto3-2 Device = lto4-3 Changer Command = "/usr/lib64/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg1 } Device { Name = lto3-1 # Drive Index = 0 Media Type = LTO3 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes } Device { Name = lto3-2 # Drive Index = 1 Media Type = LTO3 Archive Device = /dev/nst1 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes } Device { Name = lto4-3 Drive Index = 2 Media Type = LTO4 Archive Device = /dev/nst2 AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes } And my Storage definitions from the bacula-dir.conf: # Definition of file storage device Storage { Name = MSL-LTO3 Address = <host> SDPort = 9103 Password = "Cv70F6pf1t6pBopT4vQOnigDrR0v3LT3Cgkiyj" Device = "Autochanger" Media Type = LTO3 Autochanger = yes Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } Storage { Name = MSL-LTO4 Address = <host> SDPort = 9103 Password = "Cv70F6pf1t6pBopT4vQOnigDrR0v3LT3Cgkiyj" Device = "Autochanger" Media Type = LTO4 Autochanger = yes Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } Is this the proper way to handle two different tape types? or is my error caused by my config or just an issue with the drive?
