Hello ,

I bought a dell tl4000 tape libray with 2 drives. I am trying to use it
and search and applied some example configs but i get some errors. I
have put "AutomaticMount=yes" option but it wants me to mount it
manually.Here is my configs ;

Pool {
 Name = SenelikPool
 Pool Type = Backup
 Recycle = yes
 AutoPrune = yes
 Volume Retention = 365d
 Label Format = Full-
}

bacula-sd.conf

Autochanger {
 Name = delltl4000
 Device = Drive-1, Drive-2
 Changer Command = "/usr/lib64/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
 Changer Device = /dev/sg5
}

Device {
 Name = Drive-1
 Drive Index = 0
 Media Type = LTO4
 Archive Device = /dev/st0
 Changer Device = /dev/sg5
 AutomaticMount = yes;
 AlwaysOpen = yes;
 RemovableMedia = yes;
 RandomAccess = no;
 AutoChanger = yes;
 LabelMedia = yes;
# Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
 Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}

Device {
 Name = Drive-2
 Drive Index = 1
 Media Type = LTO4
 Archive Device = /dev/st1
 Changer Device = /dev/sg5
 AutomaticMount = yes;
 Autochanger = yes;
 AlwaysOpen = yes;
 RemovableMedia = yes;
 RandomAccess = no;
 LabelMedia = yes;
# Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
 Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}

Any idea ?

    

First off do not use st0 if you can use nst0.

Also you probably will need to modify your mtx-changer.sh script. The
reason is your OS is not waiting for your changer to actually load the
tape. I can see that from the log. The time between start of load and
failure was 0 minutes...

Look at the comments on this script and consult the list archives for
this problem. I know this problem comes up many times a year for
different changers.
