Hi,
I am new to bacula and trying to set up a system which will backup our 3
NAS towers to disks using the vchanger utility. We use an eSata changer
with 1 drive only - quite a simple configuration. It took a while, but
vchanger now works as advertised in the testing chapter of the
documentation, and I am currently testing it with only 3 small slots
configured to see how the drive swapping works in practice. However, I am
not able to convince bacula to label the volumes using the label barcodes
or update slots commands, and backup jobs hang waiting for me to issue a
label command. The documentation informs me I should not enter volume
labels for autochangers manually.
The errors:
*label barcodes
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Automatically selected Storage: gpea-backup
Connecting to Storage daemon gpea-backup at 192.168.85.55:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "vantec-nexstar" has 3 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon gpea-backup at 192.168.85.55:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes.
Following a run command:
25-Feb 12:47 dell-backup-dir JobId 3: Start Backup JobId 3,
Job=BackupVideo3.2013-02-25_12.47.37_09
25-Feb 12:47 dell-backup-dir JobId 3: Using Device "vantec-drive-0"
25-Feb 12:47 dell-backup-sd JobId 3: Job
BackupVideo3.2013-02-25_12.47.37_09 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable
volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "vantec-drive-0" (/var/lib/bacula/gpea-backup/0/drive0)
Pool: File
Media type: File
However, running the vchanger list command shows that vchanger is in fact
outputting 3 barcodes:
strophy@dell-backup:/$ sudo vchanger -u bacula -g disk
/etc/bacula/gpea-backup.conf list
1:gpea-backup_0001_0001
2:gpea-backup_0001_0002
3:gpea-backup_0001_0003
Some config files:
bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
Name = gpea-backup
Address = 192.168.85.55
SDPort = 9103
Password = "mH2Ps4Jim2UfNMxko_SQqxqTpuGSjJ7Up"
Device = vantec-nexstar
Media Type = File
Autochanger = yes;
}
bacula-sd.conf
Autochanger {
Name = vantec-nexstar
Device = vantec-drive-0
Changer Command = "/usr/local/bin/vchanger %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = "/etc/bacula/gpea-backup.conf"
}
Device {
Name = vantec-drive-0
Drive Index = 0
Autochanger = yes;
Device Type = File
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /var/lib/bacula/gpea-backup/0/drive0
RemovableMedia = no;
RandomAccess = yes;
}
gpea-backup.conf (the vchanger configuration script):
changer_name = gpea-backup
virtual_drives = 1
slots_per_magazine = 3
magazine_bays = 1
automount_dir = /mnt/vchanger
logfile = /var/lib/bacula/vchanger.log
log_level = LOG_ERR
magazine = "UUID:ff4bd90a-b431-431e-b7d6-a9a323d4f5ee"
magazine = "UUID:aa87944c-3a50-4c1d-a6dd-daca9761603d"
Thanks for helping with this, let me know if more details are required!
