Hello Hector,
Many thanks for showing your Bacula configuration. Indeed, it explains why
you experienced the problem with names in Baculum.
I propose to use the following configuration below. I marked changed lines
by "# Change X" marker
bacula-dir.conf
Storage {
Name = "QUANTUM-LTO-changer1" # Change 1
Description = "Quantum SuperLoader 3 Tape Library" # Change 2
Address = "bacula02.imn.ad"
Password = "XXXXXXXXXX"
Device = "QUANTUM-LTO-Lib1" # Change 3
MediaType = "LTO-7"
Autochanger = yes # Change 4
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1
}
-------------------------------
bacula-sd.conf
Autochanger {
Name = QUANTUM-LTO-Lib1
Description = "Quantum SuperLoader 3"
Device = "IBMLTO7"
Changer Device = "/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-3500e09efff10c86a"
Changer Command = "/opt/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d\"
# Changer Device = "/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-3500e09efff10c86a" # Change 5
(line to remove)
}
Please note that after doing Change 1 (IBMLTO7 => QUANTUM-LTO-changer1 in
Storage resource) you will need to update all jobs that were using this
Storage to use the new name. I mean changing in Job and JobDefs (and Pool)
resources:
Storage = IBMLTO7
into:
Storage = QUANTUM-LTO-changer1
After doing it and reloading daemons configuration, please create
Autochanger configuration in Baculum API by selecting "Copy from Bacula SD
config" drop down list item "QUANTUM-LTO-Lib1". Auto-filled values will be
correct and will not cause any name's collision.
Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)
