Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula stopped suddenly working with tape drives

Thanks for clue,

I hope this changes happen in bacula-sd.conf

Which is:


Bacula-sd.conf


[root@backup bacula]# cat bacula-sd.conf
#
# Default Bacula Storage Daemon Configuration file
#
#  For Bacula release 5.0.3 (30 August 2010) -- redhat Enterprise release
#
# You may need to change the name of your tape drive
#   on the "Archive Device" directive in the Device
#   resource.  If you change the Name and/or the
#   "Media Type" in the Device resource, please ensure
#   that dird.conf has corresponding changes.
#

}

  Media Type = ULT3580-TD4
#  Archive Device = /dev/IBMtape3
  Archive Device = /dev/nst3
  AutomaticMount = yes;

#
# Send all messages to the Director,
# mount messages also are sent to the email address
#
Messages {
  Name = Standard
  director = backup.saha.ac.in-dir = all
}
[root@backup bacula]#





Is this is possible due to below change

#  Archive Device = /dev/IBMtape0
  Archive Device = /dev/nst0
 
How can I resolve it ?

Regards,

The clue is above: Bacula doesn't know which autochanger slot to load
the tape from. Did you change the volume's status recently (like
setting it to "archive")?
