Thanks for the reply Ana.
Here is most of the info you asked. I will work on running btape again but now
it is just timing out and saying that the device cannot be accessed when I try
to run the fill test.

With the current configuration I am now able to complete the following, but
when I run btape and try to run the fill test. The tape devices go offline. I
need to power cycle the tape device manually.
(stop bacula / storage daemon to run test)
bacula stop or
bacula-sd stop
(load tape into slot 0 on autochanger)
mtx -f /dev/sg4 load 1
TEST 1 - SUCCESSFUL
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
tar cvf /dev/nst0 .
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
tar tvf /dev/nst0
TEST 2 - SUCCESSFUL
btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
* test (command within the btape console)
TEST 3 - SUCCESSFUL
btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
* autochanger (command within the btape console)
TEST 4 -
btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
* fill (command within the btape console)
I am not sure if this is too much info. I have created a migration job. When I
run it there are two jobs that are created, a migration and a backup but they
just sit there waiting on tape device.
bacula-dir.conf
Job {
Name = Migrate-to-Tape

autoloader
Hi Daniel,
It would be helpful if you could send to the list the configuration you are
using in Bacula for the Autochanger and the btape fill output.
Also, it would be helpful the output of the following commands:
lsscsi -g
ls -laR /dev/tape
Best regards,
Ana

Hello all
I have been working on adding a HP Overland 8 tape drive to my Bacula backup
system.
I have the system recognizing the tape and autoloader.
I can run mt and mtx command. I can write to and read from the tapes. I was
able to successfully run btape test and autochanger but when I ran the (fill)
test the device would be removed from /dev and the test would fail. I then need
to power cycle the device.
I have looked at dmesg and there is nothing reported about btape or the
devices. I have rebooted the server. I have reset the device to factory
default. I have also powered the device off for at least 15 minutes.
Any advice would be great.
