I've muddled through to a certain point in configurng the above
autochanger as my first autochanger. Previosly used DDS & DLT single
drive with bacula for a few years.
1. Used mtx commands to sort out the SCSI cabling and they all work now.
Performed a sizable tar to and from tape with no problems.
Note; devices are;
damselfly:/etc/bacula# lsscsi
[0:0:0:0] tape QUANTUM DLT7000 2560 /dev/st0
[1:0:1:0] mediumx HP C628 0 2.07 /dev/sch0
damselfly:/etc/bacula#
<using seperate scsi cards atm >
2. Mixed luck on the /etc/bacula/mtx-changer tests. Specifically problem
is this one;
..........................................................................
damselfly:/etc/bacula# /etc/bacula//mtx-changer /dev/sg1 transfer 5 1
usage: mtx-changer ctl-device command [slot archive-device drive-index]
Insufficient number of arguments given.
Command expected 5 arguments
..........................................................................
command is given as per examples on
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Autochanger_Resource.html
Hints?
This is the storage config in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf;
........................................................................
Storage {
Name = Drive0 # See note below
Address = damselfly.woa.com.au
SDPort = 9103
Password = ""
Device = HP718Autochanger # I expect this is wrong
Autochanger = yes
Media Type = DLT
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3
}
................................................................
Note; I suspect the anbove two commented lines are part of the problem.
Previously all JobDefs had "Storage = Drive0", which meant that
everytime I changed the Storage Name, I had to go through and change all
the JobDefs to have bacula-director reload the config. after an alomost
all nighter trying the various combinations that came to mind, decided
it was time to ask for assistance
This is the config in /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf;
...........................................................
Autochanger {
Name = HP718Autochanger
Device = Drive0
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}
Device {
Name = Drive0
Media Type = DLT
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Autochanger = yes
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Spool Directory = /data0/bacula-spool-dir
Maximum Spool Size = 30720000000
Maximum Job Spool Size = 10240000000
}
...........................................................
Currently update slots scan does;
*update slots scan
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: Drive0
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Connecting to Storage daemon Drive0 at damselfly.woa.com.au:9103 ...
Connecting to Storage daemon Drive0 at damselfly.woa.com.au:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "HP718Autochanger" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.

Any hints would be greatly received.
