For what it's worth, we use the same model and have had no problem with
the expansion slots being recognized. Maybe you just need to power cycle
the unit?
One difference is that we disabled the import/export slot on the
changer. Not sure if that matters though.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Exabyte 224 - Additional magazine not
properlyrecognized
Hi all,
This is slightly off topic. I've been using an Exabyte Magnum 224
autoloader with 12-slot magazine and single LTO-3 drive with Bacula
2.2.7 for several months now.
I recently purchased an additional magazine to increase the number of
tapes in a given cycle.
According to Exabyte I should only have to insert the magazine for the
autoloader to recognize it. Which it seemed to do. However, as a
precursor to using this with Bacula, I wanted to test the mtx status
output.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: mtx -f /dev/scsi/changer/c6t4d1 status
Storage Changer /dev/scsi/changer/c6t4d1:1 Drives, 13 Slots ( 1
Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0: Empty
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A00037
Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A00038
Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A00039
Storage Element 4:Full:VolumeTag=A00040
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A00041
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A00042
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A00043
Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A00044
Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A00045
Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00046
Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00047
Storage Element 12 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00048
Storage Element 13:Empty :VolumeTag=
So only 1 additional slot is seen, rather than the 12 more (24 total)
expected.
I'm asking if anyone else has run into this issue with their Exabyte
Magnum 224
Thanks
