Arno Lehmann, Thanks for you reply. Im using RHEL 4 x86_64 with a dell powervault 124T. Im using bacula for some time backing up to disk. Now i bought a a dell powervault 124T so i can make backups to tape. So, im newbe to tape issues. Im on a test environment... making tests :P.
When you say «Have you run btape on that device?», what is the purpose? test the tape? write a EOF? Cant get much info on status: *mount The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: IBM-Ultrium-3 3: TapeLoader124T Select Storage resource (1-3): 3 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded. 3001 Mounted Volume: 000001L3 3001 Device "IBM-Ultrium-3" (/dev/nst0) is already mounted with Volume "000001L3" * *status sd=TapeLoader124T Connecting to Storage daemon TapeLoader124T at 10.0.23.17:9103 localhost-sd Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006) x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu redhat Enterprise release Daemon started 28-Aug-06 14:48, 30 Jobs run since started.
