[Bacula-users] Multiple Storage devices in a single Pool
2012-08-06 13:34:14
Hi Jummo,
I find out what what I was doing wrong. In my storage conf I put separated tapes instead to use the my Autochanger device:
Here´s the right conf:
# DELL PowerVault LTO-5 - Drive 1 Storage { Name = PV-TL2000 Address = IP_ADDR SDPort = 9103 Password = "pass"
Device = PV-TL2000 Media Type = LTO-5 Autochanger = yes Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 }
So the PV-TL2000 has 2 devices (tape 1 and tape 2) and now bacula chooses the tape2 when the tape1 is in use.
What is happening now if the 2 tapes are already loaded into drivers, bacula uses both, if not, bacula just try to mount and use one drive. Is that the expected behavior or it´s also about my config?
Thanks.

Hi Alberto,
I have 2 tape libraries and everything is working fine but what I need is: if a job starts and uses the first tape, the second one automatically uses the second tape. Is that possible to do that?
Do you have 2 tape drives in an auto-changer? Or two dedicated tape drives directly connected to your server?
Maybe you can post your Storage Daemon configuration of your tape drives. What Maximum Concurrent Jobs settings do you use in Director Resource, Storage Daemon, Device Resource ...?
When the second job is waiting for execution, which status is shown for this job? (status dir in bconsole)
If you have a auto-changer you can set the Maximum Concurrent Jobs to 1 for each device in the storage daemon configuration or set Prefer Mounted Volume to no in the Job resource.
Storage = TapeDrive0,TapeDrive1
This configuration is not supported, see [1].
