Dear all, I need to build a backup system and I would like to use
Bacula. My project involves an HP Store Ever MSL 1/8 library with an
LTO-8 fiber channel drive. The Bacula server will be an HP Proliant
DL380 Gen8 running Almalinux 8 or 9. My idea is to have automatic tape
management with Bacula sending the tape change command when needed, and
the library identifying the correct cartridge using the barcode. Do you
think Bacula can handle all of this with the hardware I have specified?
Yes. I have a previous version of that autoloader running an LTO06 tape
drive.
I had to set the timeouts to 30 seconds in mtx-changer.conf, and changed
the mtx-changer script thus:
=======================
wait_for_drive() {
i=0
while [ $i -le 300 ]; do # Wait max 300 seconds
# grs, try once before checking...
mt -f $1 status > /dev/null 2>&1
if mt -f $1 status 2>&1 | grep "${ready}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
break
fi
debug $dbglvl "Device $1 - not ready, retrying..."
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
}
=======================
And, in the "list)" command, I changed
=======================
## cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | awk
"{print \$3 \$4}" | sed "s/Full *\(:VolumeTag=\)*//"
## grs 20150529
cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " Storage Element [0-9].*:.*Full"| sed
"s/.*Storage Element //" | sed "s? IMPORT/EXPORT??" | sed "s/Full
:VolumeTag=//"
=======================
To recognise the mail slot correctly.
Be wary of line-wrapping in the above code.
I haven't updated for a while, newer versions of mtx-changer may not
need these changes.
And the Python version may not either.
Cheers,
Gary B-)
