[Bacula-users] Dell PV-124T autochanger configuration

[Daniel Hertanu]

Hi
I was wondering if someone using a Dell PV-124T tape library can paste the
Autochanger and Device resources from bacula-sd.conf file here.

Btape tests run fine, including the autochanger, but in Bacula I'm not able
to make the autochanger work. The tape will refuse to be loaded and message
returned is that /dev/nst0 is not an autochanger. I used the same
configuration I used once for an Overland and an HP_something tape
libraries, but the PV-124T doesn't work. Thank you.

Daniel

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-sd config for tape

[Daniel Hertanu]

 
 Seems mtx-changer related problem?
 Did you do the autochanger tests with btape?
 Can you post SD config?
 

It's not an mtx problem. The autochanger is working well - I can use mtx
command to get the status of the changer, to load/unload tapes, to move tapes
from one slot to another. More than this, the local bacula-dir is working also
well with the autochanger. It labeled the tapes using label barcode, it's 
saving all backups successfully on the tapes and I can restore everything. 

The configuration is as follows:

bacula-master01(dir) - bacula-tp01(dir and sd) 

and I'm trying to communicate with bacula-tp01 sd from bacula-master01 dir.
  

SD config:
--
 Storage { # definition of myself
  Name = backup-tp01
  SDPort = 9103
  Working Directory = /var/bacula
  Pid Directory = /var/run
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}

#
# List Directors who are permitted to contact Storage daemon
#
Director {
  Name = bacula-master01
  Password = ...
}

Director {
  Name = backup-tp01
  Password = ...
}

Device {
  Name = Ultrium-Drive
  MediaType = Tape
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
  AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it 
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  RandomAccess = no;
  Changer Command = /var/lib/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
  Changer Device = /dev/sg3
  Autochanger = yes
  Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
}
---

Storage resource defined on the local bacula-dir (backup-tp01):

Storage {
 Name = Tape_library
 Device = Ultrium-Drive
 Address = backup-tp01
 SDPort = 9103
 Password = ...
 Media Type = Tape
 Autochanger = yes
}


Storage resources defined on the remote bacula-dir (bacula-master01):

Storage {
  Name = Overland 
  Device = Ultrium-Drive
  Address = backup-tp01
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = ...
  MediaType = Tape
  AutoChanger = yes
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}
