Dear Bacula Community Users,
We have run into a problem when setting up our tape library and were
hoping one of you might be able to advise us.
We were following the 11.0.x community documentation “Testing Your
Tape Drive With Bacula” and ran into issues during step 6, the btape
fill command.
Indeed, during our three attempts (on two different tapes) when btape
had written about 1.8-2 Tb of data to a tape it encountered a write
error and failed.
The cleaning light on our autoloader lit up after each of these errors
and the system required cleaning before further use.
As the btape test command passed we believe our bacula_sd.conf is set
up properly.
Have any of you encountered a similar problem before?
Did we receive a faulty drive or were unlucky and received two faulty
tapes?
Or are we wrong and our configuration might the source of this issue?
Thanks in advance and best regards to all.
Jean-Baptiste
Here are the setup details and error messages we got.
Bacula: v11.0.5-1
Autoloader: HPE MSL 1/8 G2 0-drive Tape Autoloader(firmware version
5.5/2.6n)
Drive: HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 SA(Ultrium 8-SCSi,
firmware revision M571)
tapes:HPE LTO-8 ULTRIUM 30TB RW
I had a similar problem long ago when using a SCSI-connected HP
auto-loader, every now and then a tape would error, and it would ask to
be cleaned.
We replaced the SCSI version with a Fibre-Channel version, and have had
no problems since.
Cheers,
Gary B-)
