It shouldn't have been.  Yes, bacula-sd is running but no scheduled jobs
are enabled to use this unit yet (only FileStorage).  I started by
trying to "label barcodes" and it reported no slots:

*label barcodes
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
The defined Storage resources are:
     1: Sony SDX-700C
     2: FileStorage
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Connecting to Storage daemon Sony SDX-700C at backup-va-1:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "Sony SDX-700C" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
You have messages.

Then I started looking at the changer/mtx controls to diagnose it.  Here
are my Autochanger and Device sections, in case I've messed something
up.  I haven't made any changes to the mtx-changer script yet.

Autochanger {
  Name = "QUALSTAR TLS-4212i"
  Device = "Sony SDX-700C"
  Changer Command = "/opt/bacula/libexec/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
  Changer Device = /dev/sg/c1t0l0
}

Device {
  Name = "Sony SDX-700C"
  Media Type = AIT-3
  Archive Device = /dev/rmt/0cbn
  AutomaticMount = yes;
  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'"
}


Thanks,
