You might also find the following udev rules useful. Put the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage-tape.rules (path may be different for different distros, this is for opensuse).
# this file must have the same name as the file in /lib/udev/rules.d that sets up the tape permissions, otherwise this file won't override the defaults
SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", ATTRS{vendor}=="DELL", ATTRS{model}=="PV-124T", SYMLINK+="library_pv-124t", GROUP="disk" KERNEL=="nst[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_tape", ATTRS{vendor}=="QUANTUM", ATTRS{model}=="ULTRIUM 5", SYMLINK+="drive0_pv-124t", GROUP="disk"
This creates symlinks for the right devices and sets the group permissions to disk, which is what the RPMs in the dassit repository for openeuse want given who the daemons run as. Note that this is only with 1 drive in our library, you may need to modify for a second drive. On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 4:04 AM, Rory Campbell-Lange <rory AT campbell-lange DOT net> wrote:
We have the same setup, running on Debian.
The first things to do are:
* check that you can get your server and library/drive to communicate.
you can do that with mtx and mt
eg mtx -f /dev/sg4 status
eg mt -f /dev/nst0 status
* test your setup with btape
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION00291000000000000000
* configure the Bacula Storage Daemon
our Storage Daemon has the folling excerpts that might be relevant to
you:
Autochanger {
Name = PV-124T
Device = LTO4-Drive1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg4
}
Device {
Name = LTO4-Drive1
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO4
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# The following spool directives come after discussions on the bacula list and
# with reference to http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users AT lists.sourceforge DOT net/msg36340.html
# Also see http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#11812 etc
Maximum File Size = 5G
Maximum Spool Size = 260G
Maximum Job Spool Size = 100G # will need this is there are concurrent jobs
Spool Directory = /tapehold
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
However please be very wary of just copying these entries. You should
read the manual and setup Bacula to meet your specific requirements.
