I am setting a up a new Bacula 7.4 system and have run into an issue that I do not understand.
I have a 10 slot autochanger that I have been using since the 5.0.x days through to 7.0.x. I cannot remember when I last did a clean install though. Everything has been upgraded over time, so I am not sure when this became an issue. It could have been an issue all along and I have just forgotten. In the 10 slot auto changer I have 4 daily volumes (from the P-Tape-Daily pool), 4 weekly volumes (from the P-Tape-Weekly pool) and 2 monthly volumes (from the P-Tape-Monthly pool). On the existing 7.0.5 system the volumes are configured in the catalogue as being in the autochanger slots as follows: P-Daily-Tape-001 1 P-Daily-Tape-002 2 P-Daily-Tape-002 3 P-Daily-Tape-002 4 P-Weekly-Tape-001 5 P-Weekly-Tape-002 6 P-Weekly-Tape-003 7 P-Weekly-Tape-004 8 P-Monthly-Tape-001 9 P-Monthly-Tape-001 10 Each Pool has Maximum Volumes set as follows: P-Tape-Daily 4 P-Tape-Weekly 4 P-Tape-Monthly 2 The same configuration is intended for the new 7.4 system. To that end, on the new system I have labelled all the tapes and am now trying to set the autochanger slot for each volume with the update command in bconsole. The Daily-Pool volumes all updated successfully, but when I go to do the P-Tape-Weekly volumes I get *update volume=P-Tape-Weekly-001 slot=5 Invalid slot, it must be between 0 and Maximum Volumes=4 I do not understand what the Pool Maximum Volume setting has to do with the autochanger slot number. I have confirmed that it is the P-Tape-Weekly Pool Maximum Volumes causing the issue by increasing it to 8. I can now change the slots for the P-Tape-Weekly volumes to 5-8 as required. Once the slots have been changed I can change the Maximum Volumes back to 4 and everything works as it should. At least I think it does. Still doing some testing. Same thing for P-Tape-Monthly except Maximum Volumes needs to be 10. Is this a bug or have I been something wrong all this time?
