Just to close this thread out, I was able to erase the labels on the tapes and have been successfully labeling tapes. Next stop, backups! Thanks All! Andrew On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 3:47 PM, Bill Arlofski wrote: > On 06/19/2015 03:58 PM, Andrew Noonan wrote: >> Hi Bill, >> >> Yeah, I did th

Hi all, After wrestling with a Dell TL4000 in the thread marked "Dell TL4000 labeling timeout", it looks like the autochanger is going to be fine thanks to the efforts of several people, especially Ana, on this list. Moving forward, I'm about to start running jobs to at first backfill a

Hi Bill, Yeah, I did that a few posts back. Unfortunately, there isn't a keen mapping that specifically connects the SCSI devices to the internal drive numbering that the changer uses, so commands against the changer (mtx) would use the drive number, but commands against the drive (mt) would

Hello Andrew, Rather than use the /dev/nst0 and /dev/nst1 devices, you should use the device nodes' "by-id" node names. These do not change over reboots the way the /dev/nstX ones can. First determine the scsi devices in the system and identify the "sg" node for the library's changer device: --

Hi Ana, It looks like that is it. I flipped the devices that get pointed to and I was able to attempt to label the disks. They had old labels on them from some previous attempt, though, so now I'm going through and erasing the labels, but that process is also completing so far without error

Hello Andrew, I'm affraid your /dev/nst1 is your first drive (índex 0) and /dev/nst0 is your second drive (índex 1). From your mt status output, you have /dev/nst1 online with a tape loaded (i suspect this is the 44:02L6 tape). Could you try changing this in your bacula-sd.conf (/dev/nst1 -> d

Hello, I wrote the sample commands for /dev/st0 device. Did you change queue_depth value for both tape drives ? I am seeing that you have problem with /dev/st1 device as is shown on attached output from SD debug (from your first mail in this thread). If you changed queue_depth only for /dev/st0,

Hi Marcin, I changed that setting, but that doesn't seem to have made a difference in terms of the status output, or mtx-changer taking less then the full timeout period to complete. The drive still shows as DR_OPEN. Thanks, Andrew On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 2:00 AM, Marcin Haba wrote: > Hello, >
