yes the tape drive has a barcode scanner. i tried the 'update slots' message and i got the following error:
Automatically selected Storage: PV-122T
Connecting to Storage daemon PV-122T at localhost:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "PV-122T" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
I get this error if there is a tape in the drive, or if they are all in their slots.
I assume you have a barcode reader on your archive and you also have
barcode lables on your tapes. In this case you should never label your
tapes directly. You normally issue the
update slots
command after adding tapes and the aotochanger is done scanning the labels.
Then after that completes issue
label barcodes
command in bconsole and put all tapes into the Scratch pool. Do not
worry about already labeled tapes being in the list. Bacula will only
grab and label the tapes that are in the changer that are not in the
bacula database.
After this completes and bacula needs a tape it will grab it from the
Scratch pool and move it into the current pool.
