Re: [Bacula-users] Autoloaders
We have a 2.6 Kernel and running RHEL 4, we installed the sg3 utils, ran the modprobe sg and everything, but there is no sg under /dev. If I run the hardware browser I can see the PV-124T as /dev/sg3 and the LTO device as /dev/sg2, the backplane as /dev/sg0 and the scsi adapter as /dev/sg1 but like I said nothing under /dev with sg. You know what I'm to re-install, we got the server pre-installed and people messed with the machine prior to me loading Bacula. Thanks for the help I appreciated it.

Hi, Im going to ask a really dumb question now, so please bear with me. We just bought a Dell Power Vault 124 with a LTO 3 now the problem is that I dont know what device the autoloader is specified in /dev. I have a nst0, nst0a, nst0l, nst0m as well as st0, st0a, st0l and st0m. At least I know what the difference between nst0 and st0 is but I dont know which one of the rest is the autoloader ??? The best thing is I just got to grips with Bacula and the AIT and now I have to do everything over again but this time on RHEL 4 and the Dell Autoloader, at least Bacula is easy but the hardware through a curve ball.

Re: [Bacula-users] Autoloaders
My Powervault works with these settings :
#
# An autochanger device with two drives
#
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-0
# Device = Drive-2
Changer Command = /root/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}
Device {
Name = Drive-0 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
}
The autochanger is at /dev/sg2
I had some difficulty using the /dev/sg* when I first started. I have
other issues but the Powervault is recognized. I am running RedHat
Fedora Core 3

weird...:P
do you have graphic interface?
run the harware browser (hwbroswer on the command line)
take a look on a screenshot I send as attachment.
You should see you tape loader under the system devices. As you ca
seen in the picture mine is on /dev/sg5.
If doesn't work or if you don't have access to the harware browser
let
me see what you have on /proc/scsi (ls /proc/scsi )

Re: [Bacula-users] Autoloaders
According to the Hardware browser the PV-124T is located on /dev/sg3 but there is no sg3 under /dev..well there is no sg and when I try to access /dev/sg3 it just says no such device any ideas? When I ls /proc/scsi I get the following: aic79xx/ device_info scsi Janco v.d Merwe Network Administrator Dunns Stores (PTY) Ltd Switchboard: 011 541 3000 Direct: 011 541 3007 Fax: 086 632 1708 -Original Message- From: Jaime Ventura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 September, 2006 16:58 To: Janco van der Merwe;Bacula Users Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Autoloaders weird...:P do you have graphic interface? run the harware browser (hwbroswer on the command line) take a look on a screenshot I send as attachment.

If you can get this, then your loader is correctly recognized. And If so, you can run the code i sent you on my previous message, in a bash console. If not, then probably the tapeloader isn't correctly recognized. What scsi board is your tapeloader connected to? Tell me what you got.
