Hi,

Turns out it was the drive in the library, we had the drive replaced and backups will run now, I just have to work out the backup errors now to get them to complete. :-)

thanks,

Jeff di domenico.

    Hi,

    Yeah see the below output from lsscsi

    lsscsi -g

    [8:0:0:0]    tape    HP Ultrium 5-SCSI   Y6PW  /dev/st1   /dev/sg40
    [9:0:0:0]    tape    HP       Ultrium 5-SCSI   Y6PW /dev/st0  
    /dev/sg38
    [9:0:0:1]    mediumx HP       MSL G3 Series    9.40 /dev/sch0 
    /dev/sg39

So, from I can see you have a following devices you should use:
- autochanger device: /dev/sg39
- storage device #0 /dev/nst0
- storage device #1 /dev/nst1

For the mtx command you should always use an "autochanger device" as described above. Others simply won't work.

    If i do use st0 and st1

???
Why?

    [root@union bacula]# ./mtx-changer /dev/st1 listall
    cannot open SCSI device '/dev/st1' - No medium found
    [root@union bacula]# ./mtx-changer /dev/st0 listall
    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
    [root@union bacula]#

You should make sure that the following command will run without any issues: mtx -f /dev/sg39 status Then you can move to Bacula configuration. If this command won't work for you then Bacula won't work either. You should check kernel logs or events at the tape library to check what is going on. Then simply solve it.

best regards
