Re: [Bacula-users] newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool

Hi Gani,

Thanks for the response.

[root@pmappp01 bin]# ./mtx-changer /dev/sg1 list
1:TPMBU011
2:TPMBU002
3:TPMBU001
4:TPMBU005
5:TPMBU007
6:
7:
8:TPMBU003

[root@pmappp01 bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 8 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 8 Loaded):VolumeTag = TPMBU003
      Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=TPMBU011
      Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=TPMBU002
      Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=TPMBU001
      Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=TPMBU005
      Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=TPMBU007
      Storage Element 6:Full
      Storage Element 7:Full
      Storage Element 8:Empty

I also did an: unmount, and then: update slots scan. On slots 6,7 I got the following errors:

3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 6, drive 0" command.
3305 Autochanger "load slot 6, drive 0", status is OK.

I'm going to try different tapes and see if it can read those barcodes,

Hello,

I'm having some issues with bacula.

This is a new install, I have not used bacula before. So far I've
successfully backed up from a client to a file on the bacula server, now
I'm trying to get autoloader working so I can backup to tape. I want to
make it so all tapes or Volumes are a member of Default Pool.

I'm trying to label tapes and set them up so they're available in a Pool
for backups. It appears that two slots are not recognized as containing
bacula tapes and I'm not sure how to fix that. I think almost all of the
tapes were used in our previous backup solution, so I don't know why
these two slots are misbehaving. If I try the "label barcodes" command,
it offers to label slots 1-6, and 8, but not the tapes in mystery slots
6 and 7.

Please let me know if I can supply more information, or if I should be
posting somewhere else.

Hi,

It means that probably there is problem with reading tape labels in slots 6 and 7. Are you sure that tapes in slots 6 and 7 have sticked correct labels?

Could you show us output from below commands?

mtx -f /dev/sgX status

(/dev/sgX is special file of changer device)

and from mtx-changer Bacula script:

mtx-changer /dev/sgX list

(/dev/sgX is special file of changer device).

Regards.
gani
