bwellsnc  I have several clients with working Quantum Superloader3 tape
libraries. I think I know exactly what your problem is. :)

Since your mtx tests all work fine, and your bacula will backup to a tape when
you manually load it in,  here goes:


If you run "list media" I am guessing that you will also see that the "In
Changer" and "Slot" field for each of your volumes is "0" mening bacula does
not believe it to be somewhere it can get it to load by itself.

If you run the "update slots" command bacula should tell you what volumes it
THINKS are in the slots which should also indicate that bacula does not think
ANY of your media are in the Superloader.

I have a feeling that you manually labeled your tapes instead of using the
barcodes, and bacula does now know what slot it is supposed to load to get
"Tape-0241" (for instance) into the drive.

If you run the "label barcodes" command, bacula will automatically run through
each tape and write a bacula tape label matching the tape's barcode for each tape.

Then, whenever you remove/replace tapes you will need to run the update slots
command so that bacula can update the "Slot" and "in Changer" fields in the
database for your media.


I usually run a job of type "Admin" each night where my clients manually
insert/remove media tot their Quantum Superloader3's  that is configured to
run before (higher priority) than the nightly jobs and this "admin" job simply
runs a script that calls the "update slots" command so that bacula has
current/valid information regarding which tapes are in the Superloader and
which slot they are in.

Here's my "UpDateSlots" job Definition:

# ----------------
# Update Slots Job
# ----------------
Job {
 Name = UpDateSlots
 Client = backup-fd
 Type = Admin
 FileSet = None
 Storage = DLT-V4
 Schedule = UpDateSlots
 Messages = Standard
 Priority = 8
 SpoolData = no
 Pool = Default

 RunScript {
   RunsWhen = Before
   RunsOnClient = no
   Fail Job On Error = no
   Command = "/usr/local/sbin/runbefore-updateslots.sh"
 }
}


And here is the /usr/local/sbin/runbefore-updateslots.sh script that I use:

#!/bin/bash
#
# waa - 20091110
# --------------

BC="/usr/sbin/bconsole"
CONF="/etc/bacula/bconsole.conf"
STORAGE="DLT-V4"

$BC -c $CONF << WAAEOF
update slots storage=$STORAGE
quit
WAAEOF



Hope this helps.
