Hi,
I know you guys are volunteers but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help me with the following problem. I have been working on this
for some time but can't find a solution on the internet. I can
understand if "Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume" can mean
several issues but here are all the details.
OS: CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
Bacula Version: 5.2.13
Problem: No backups will start as the drive is always blocked. The
bacula environment was running fine, and had been for years, then just
stopped one day, no config was changed.
Device "IBM0" (/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fad) open but no
Bacula volume is currently mounted.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "IPR962L5",
Pool: Default
Media type: LTO5
Slot 10 is loaded in drive 0.
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=0 Block=0
Tape Drive: The tape library is a HP MSL 4048 with two HP Ultrium 5-SCSI
drives attached to a Supermicro server. I had a HP engineer swap the
drives out and the problem still persisted.
btape test: On the following website
https://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html
I reach point 5 successfully but the btape fill command fails with the
following, this is after making sure there is a tape in the drive:
[root@union ~]# btape -c bacula-sd.conf
/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fb0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:290-0 Using device:
"/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fb0" for writing.
btape: btape.c:477-0 open device "IBM1"
(/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35001438016019fb0): OK
*fill
This command simulates Bacula writing to a tape.
It requires either one or two blank tapes, which it
will label and write.
If you have an autochanger configured, it will use
the tapes that are in slots 1 and 2, otherwise, you will
be prompted to insert the tapes when necessary.
It will print a status approximately
every 322 MB, and write an EOF every 53.68 G. If you have
selected the simple test option, after writing the first tape
it will rewind it and re-read the last block written.
If you have selected the multiple tape test, when the first tape
fills, it will ask for a second, and after writing a few more
blocks, it will stop. Then it will begin re-reading the
two tapes.
This may take a long time -- hours! ...
Do you want to run the simplified test (s) with one tape
or the complete multiple tape (m) test: (s/m) m
Multiple tape test selected.
