Hi folks, I started out with bacula 3 or 4 months ago but as it turned out the card I was using did not properly recognize the tape changer. The whole thing got sidetracked for a while but now I'm back with a new card which seems to see everything fine. It is a Sun SL24 jukebox. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 with bacula out of the apt-get packages.
I stopped using the jukebox a few months ago with the software Sun had sold us for it, because I suspected some issues with either the software or the hardware. Now I fear it is hardware. Was trying some basic mtx-changer tests and btape and getting some results that looked odd, so I looked into the mtx-changer script and found this command - with results as shown : root@nashead01:/etc/bacula# mtx -f /dev/sg0 status mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current) mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 24 mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00 mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no Mode sense (0x1A) for Page 0x1D failed mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current) mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 20 mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00 mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed I have a feeling there is tape jammed in there somewhere but am not sure. What's my next step to debug this? thanks, -Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
