Hi Russ,
First of all, you said that you have LTO-6 tapes. So, I recomend you
specify it in your Device name definition, that will avoid some
confusion in the future:
Device {
Name = ML6000-LTO6-0
...
}
Good idea. Will do.
A second question is: don't you have barcodes? Are you sure you're
going to work without barcode labels? If you're not going to work with
barcodes, you should use the "label" command for labeling the tapes
(before you should guarantee they are ready for labeling with mt -f
/dev/st0 rewind and weof). The add command, as it tells you when you
run it, doesn't labeled your volumes and you need this.
So, use the "label" or "label barcodes" commands, they will label your
volumes and records them corretly in the bacula catalog (MediaId,
name, slot, inchanger flag, etc.)
The first time I tried to do the install, I was working with CentOS 6.5,
which had bacula version 5.0.0 in its yum repository. The tapes all
have barcodes, so in bconsole, I ran "label barcodes". bacula
successfully loaded each tape into the tape drive and labeled the tapes
from the barcode. mtx-changer reported:

But when I tried to run a local backup job, I got an error that read:
29-Sep 20:52 bacula-dir JobId 13: Fatal error: bsock.c:488 Packet size
too big from "Storage daemon:bacula.oak.telmate.cc:9103. Terminating
connection.
The FAQ at the bacula website :
http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/Bacula_Frequently_Asked_Que.html#SECTION002330000000000000000
suggested that this was a known issue and that it was advised to upgrade
to a newer version of bacula, which is why I re-installed with CentOS
7.0 and bacula 5.2.13-18.
I tried running "label barcodes", but it errors out saying that the
tapes are already labeled, which is why I ran the "add pool=Default
storage=ML6000-LTO3-0". I assumed it would read the labels already on
the tapes, but instead ran me through the dialog I posted earlier.
So far as I can tell, the tapes are now labeled and in the catalog, or
am I mistaken about that? Going back to my earlier e-mail, you can see
what bconsole - "list media" shows. It seems to me that bacula just
isn't properly running the autochanger.
I'm totally OK with going back to zero on this, whatever that is, but if
the tapes are already labeled, "label barcodes" doesn't get it done.
I'll respond to Rodoslaw's note in a separate e-mail.
