OK, I've got my tape drive working (thanks Ana!) but I'm having trouble connecting to the autochanger it's in using the director. This is the first time I've tried having a storage daemon on a different machine than the director. The director is a slightly lower version (7.4.3 on Debian Jessie using backports) than the storage daemon (7.4.4 on stretch) but I had understood that those versions were close enough to work.
So I'm hoping this is another configuration issue. Right now what I'm trying to do is label all the tapes in the new library. When I try to access the new storage from the director, it is able to get a listing of all the tapes, but it fails when it tries to actually do the labeling. I get a "3999 Device not found or could not be opened" error. These errors show up quickly, there is no delay as it tries each slot, so it's obviously not getting far enough to try. But it *is* obviously connecting to the remote storage, otherwise it wouldn't be able to obtain the slot list. What am I missing? root@sleipnir:/etc/bacula# bconsole Connecting to Director sleipnir:9101 1000 OK: 102 sleipnir-dir Version: 7.4.3 (18 June 2016) Enter a period to cancel a command. *label storage=Library2 barcodes Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog" Connecting to Storage daemon Library2 at odin:9103 ... 3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
