I have been running Bacula with VXA-1 drives for a couple of years now and was
recently charged with the task of setting it up on a new machine running SLES
10 and using an Exabyte 1x10 autochanger. I followed Maria McKinley's recent
thread on Exabyte autochangers and found it helpful (I had to download and
install mtx), but I am still troubled.
My configuration files are syntactically correct, as all three daemons load,
but Bacula is not seeing the changer. It is likely that I have defined
something wrongly. Here are the pertinent parts of the sd and dir configuration
files:
bacula-sd.conf:
# Autochanger resource
Autochanger {
Name = "Autochanger"
Device = VXA3
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
Changer Command = "/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %qa %d"
}
# Internal VXA-3 Drive
#
Device {
Name = VXA3
Autochanger = yes
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
Changer Command = "/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %qa %d"
Media Type = VXA-3
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
*********************************
bacula-dir.conf:
# Definition of Autochanger
Storage {
Name = VXA
Autochanger = yes
Address = bacula-test # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "madison"
Device = VXA3 # must be same as Device in Storage daemon
Media Type = VXA-3 # must be same as MediaType in Storage daemon
}
*********************************
>From bconsole, status sd reveals the following:
Automaticaaly selected Storage: VXA

If I run the command './mtx-changer /dev/sg0 load 1 /dev/st0 0' at the command
line, I get this:

No slots in changer to scan.
It appears that my system is currently unaware of the existence of the
autochanger as such. I know I'm missing something, but I just don't know where
to look.
