Greetings
I am upgrading (reinstalling) a bacula server configured in 2016 which
has been working great all this time, until the machine died...
It appears that the new version of bacula uses a very different paradigm...
Am I correct in interpreting the manual to mean that all tapes with a
barcode will be labeled and assigned to a scratch pool, from which tapes
will be retrieved at the time of backup and reassigned to their
appropriate pool, in my case either a Monday pool and a Tuesday pool ...
through a Sunday pool???
Now for the problem that I am encountering.
I have a quantum Scalar i3 tape changer with an IBM HH08 LTO-8 drive
The tape drive is either /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 depending on if I want to
append.... and the robot is /dev/sg2
The only way that I can get mtx-changer to work, is to issue an
mt -f /dev/st0 offline directive before any
./mtx-changer /dev/sg2 {load/unload... Command} $Slot /dev/nst0 0
which takes a great deal of time as the offline command takes more than
30 secs to complete. The GREATER problem is when I issue a
label barcodes command
from bconsole which then issues the appropriate mtx-changer commands,
WITHOUT the offline prior to each command, resulting in one tape being
labeled correctly and 47 error messages similar to
Label command failed for Volume 000004L8.
Sending label command for Volume "000005L8" Slot 5 ...
3307 Issuing autochanger "unload Volume 000002L8, Slot 2, Drive 0" command.
3995 Bad autochanger "unload Volume 000002L8, Slot 2, Drive 0":

mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no
mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=yes
mtx: Request Sense: Field Pointer = 00 00
MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 256 to 4097 Failed
Can anyone give me a hint as to how to get around this. I can label each
tape manually using the commands with judicious use of the offline
command, which is NO solution but an indication that I am using the
correct mtx-changer command syntax
Thanks
Richard
