I have a new bacula install using the ubuntu built in packages on ubuntu 16
with a new Dell EMC ML3 drive (an ibm 3573-TL)
I can get btape to work, and mt and mtx to work, but it seems the bconsole
will not work. I am not sure if I have something configured wrong or it does
not see the tape drive correctly. Any input would be appreciated.
Below, I will show some configs, lsscsi and testing that I have
performed. When I go to the console to test labels or the changer, it seems
to fail.
my relevant portions from bacula-sd.conf:
Autochanger {
Name = LTO5
Device = Drive-1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg3
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1
Drive Index = 0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = LTO-5
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Label Media = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
Automatic Mount = yes; # when device opened, read it
Removable Media = yes;
Always Open = yes;
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}
And /etc/bacula# lsscsi -g

We should be in file 3. I am at file 3. This is correct!
Now the important part, I am going to attempt to append to the tape.

Done appending, there should be no I/O errors
Doing Bacula scan of blocks:
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
End scanning the tape.
We should be in file 4. I am at file 4. This is correct!
The above Bacula scan should have output identical to what follows.
Please double check it ...
=== Sample correct output ===
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
=== End sample correct output ===
If the above scan output is not identical to the
sample output, you MUST correct the problem
or Bacula will not be able to write multiple Jobs to
the tape.
=== Write, backup, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write three records and an EOF
then backup over the EOF and re-read the last record.
Bacula does this after writing the last block on the
tape to verify that the block was written correctly.
This is not an *essential* feature ...

This test is essential to Bacula.
I'm going to write five files then test forward spacing

This is where I get mildly confused:

OK, fine, I can also unload and load:
/etc/bacula# mtx -f /dev/sg3 unload 1 0
Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...done
/etc/bacula# mtx -f /dev/sg3 load 1 0
Loading media from Storage Element 1 into drive 0...done
However, working from the bconsole fails.
It only seems to see the tape in the drive and nothing else.
I have actually tried this with all combinations of scsi devices
just to ensure there was no naming issue.
