Hello everyone,
Thanks for the answer Ben, and sorry for the late reply. I've changed the
Media Type, now my first Library and it's devices are using "Media Type =
LTO-5-LibHP08", and the other one is using "Media Type = LTO-5-LibHP09".
The problem now is when my jobs run, it tries to use a media with "Media
Type = LTO-5-LibHP08", but all the medias are still configured as "LTO-5".
The following log was generated:
18-Ago 11:49 maquina-bacula-dir JobId 7583: Start Backup JobId 7583,
Job=Job-Archive.2014-08-18_11.45.00_09
18-Ago 11:49 maquina-bacula-dir JobId 7583: Using Device "LibHP08-drive_1"
18-Ago 11:36 client-fd JobId 7583: Warning: DIR and FD clocks differ by
-816 seconds, FD automatically compensating.
18-Ago 11:29 LibHP JobId 7583: Job Job-Archive.2014-08-18_11.45.00_09 is
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "LibHP08-drive_1"
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016063c05-nst)
Pool: Job-Archive-Daily-Pool
Media type: LTO-5-LibHP08
When i list the media on bconsole, all of them still are LTO-5, after
searching for solutions, all i found was people suggesting to update the
values manually on database. is there a better way to correct the media
type on the medias?
Thanks.
