-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, here's how I got into this mess:
Operations staff has a calendar for which tape goes in when -- they wrote it out because they really don't have the knowhow to check for themselves. Well, they messed up because I don't have a full backup scheduled for the fifth Tuesday: Schedule { Name = "UMD-F13T-Inc" Run = Level=Full Storage=helios_DAT72 1st,3rd tue at 21:00 Run = Level=Incremental Storage=helios_DDS 1st,3rd mon,wed-fri at 23:00 Run = Level=Incremental Storage=helios_DDS 2nd,4th-5th mon-fri at 23:00 } Schedule { Name = "UMD-F24T-Inc" Run = Level=Full Storage=helios_DAT72 2nd,4th tue at 21:00 Run = Level=Incremental Storage=helios_DDS 2nd,4th mon,wed-fri at 23:00 Run = Level=Incremental Storage=helios_DDS 1st,3rd,5th mon-fri at 23:00 } ...however, their calendar had a fifth Tuesday and messed up the rotation. Today, as a result, the wrong tape went into the drive. Here is my storage config: Device { Name = helios_DAT72 # Media Type = DDS-4 Archive Device = /dev/rmt/1lbn AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = no; Volume Poll Interval = 30 minutes; Close on Poll = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Spool Directory = /usr/local/bacula/var/spool; } I meant to set AlwaysOpen to yes here, but apparently did not -- so now I'm even more confused. Anyway, what happened... it tried to run a backup, but it looked at the tape and saw that it was used and in the wrong pool, and rightly refused. We noticed the error and now have the proper tape in the drive. However: #umount Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: helios_DDS 3: helios_DAT72 Select Storage resource (1-3): Unexpected question has been received. 3 3901 Device "helios_DAT72" (/dev/rmt/1lbn) is already unmounted. #mount The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: helios_DDS 3: helios_DAT72 Select Storage resource (1-3): Unexpected question has been received. 3 3001 Mounted Volume: catalyst_BW1 3001 Device "helios_DAT72" (/dev/rmt/1lbn) is already mounted with Volume "catalyst_BW1" # ...as you can see, my tape is both "already unmounted" and "already mounted", and claims that the tape that is in the drive is the tape that I've taken out of the drive and replaced with the right tape. It has requested the tape I'd expect it to, but will not be convinced that it's in the drive: 15-Nov 10:37 helios-sd: CFMX-dev.2006-11-14_21.00.00 Warning: Director wanted Volume "combined_BW1" for device "helios_DAT72" (/dev/rmt/1lbn). Current Volume "catalyst_BW1" not acceptable because: 1998 Volume "catalyst_BW1" status is Used, not in Pool. 15-Nov 10:37 helios-sd: Please mount Volume "combined_BW1" on Storage Device "helios_DAT72" (/dev/rmt/1lbn) for Job CFMX-dev.2006-11-14_21.00.00 I've restarted bacula already and this hasn't helped at all. This is version 1.38.11. I've never actually had a problem before like this that I couldn't figure out -- seems to be that the worst case scenario has you restart and that's that. I'm totally stumped here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
