Hi,
I have Bacula running with an IBM TL3400. As the tapes are bar coded
Bacula can read the library and add the tapes to it's catalogue. I can
than move then to the backup pools. My issue is the tapes have not had a
volume written to the front of the tape using the label command they
fail to mount with the following bconsole status.
Device "Drive-3" (/dev/nst2) open but no Bacula volume is currently
mounted.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "CBP10020",
Pool: snapshot-pool
Media type: LTO-3
Slot 11 is loaded in drive 2.
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=0 Block=0
Tape CBP10020 is in /dev/nst2 but is blank. How do I get Bacula to
automatically initialise the tape and write the volume label. My storage
definition is as follows:-
Device {
Name = Drive-3 #
Drive Index = 2
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst2
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
Maximum Spool Size = 100GB
# Spool Size = 40GB
Maximum Job Spool Size = 40GB
Spool Directory = /backup/hosts/SPOOL
}
I sort of assumed that AutomaticMount would do it. I am reluctant to use
LabelMedia because I am not sure it will use that label on the bar code
rather than issuing a new one. Can anyone confirm that behaviour of
LabelMedia when used with a bar coded auto-changer?
