The output below indicates that there is a bacula label on the tapes, otherwise
you would receive and Input/Output error and a message about it not being a
bacula labeled tape. I have run into this issue before and it took a bit of
manual manipulation to get the catalog to be updated to where the tape was
recognized to be in the library. Try working with one problem slot/tape at a
time and getting all of your parameters on the command line. These will
relabel the tapes twice, but you should be able to get them recognized and then
move forward.
mount storage="HP Autoloader" drive=0 slot=1
update volume="TPBMU011" volstatus="Recycle"
relabel storage="HP Autoloader" oldvolume="TPBMU011" volume="TPBMU011X"
pool="Default" drive="0" slot=1
update volume="TPBMU011X" volstatus="Recycle"
relabel storage="HP Autoloader" oldvolume="TPBMU011X" volume="TPBMU011"
pool="Default" drive="0" slot=1
release storage="HP Autoloader" drive=0
If the above commands work for you, try the status check again.
status slots storage="HP Autoloader" drive=0
If it doesn't, please post the exact command and output.
Wash – rinse – repeat with each problem slot/tape.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] newbie - problem labeling / adding tapes to pool
Hi Tim,
I don't know about another application but bacula does correctly read the
barcode labels during: update slots scan eg. below.
But then it doesn't seem to be able to find it when I try to add it to the
catalog, it's just ignored. In the example below, this is after me uninstalling
and reinstalling bacula. I haven't made any attempts to relabel manually or
outside of bacula so the only way it can see that barcode is by scanning,
Thanks,

Hey Simon,
The output from your status command is not returning the label information for

OK
Hopefully I'm not annoying anyone with my updates.
Here is the latest:
I deleted the 5.2.6 install and installed 5.2.12, like so:
backup the config files etc.
delete all tapes by rewind, writing eof, rewind each one
do a: make uninstall of bacula
make sure that everything is deleted. I did this, and then deleted and
recreated the bacula db, so Everything is wiped
download the latest version and install, configure, used my previous config
files
see how bacula recognizes tapes
And after doing an : barcode label, I'm basically back where I was. Only 4 out
of 8 tapes are recognized. At least it's behaving consistently broken.

So at this point, I'm not sure what to think. When I do an: update slots scan,
it returns the correct slot and correct Volume name for all tapes in all slots.
I did this before doing a label barcodes, so it seems to be reading the
barcodes (this is after writing eof)
but when I do a label barcodes, it only labels 4 out of 8 tapes. It's like it
only sees 4 slots during this operation.
I'm going to see how backups run over the weekend, hopefully I'll get a full
backup.
I'm wondering if it's possible that a cabling issue could cause this, or some
incompatibility with the controller card. Or 4 tapes went bad at the same time,
but that seems extremely unlikely. I tried the btape test again, everything
passed, even when using one of the 'mystery tapes' so I don't think it's the
tape. When I check the mysql db, it says:
mysql> select concat(VolumeName,', ',Slot) from Media;
+------------------------------+
| concat(VolumeName,', ',Slot) |
+------------------------------+
| TPMBU001, 3 |
| TPMBU005, 4 |
| TPMBU007, 5 |
| TPMBU015, 6 |
+------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
I'm sure people have had longer battles with bacula, but I'm getting
discouraged. I'm thinking about taking the 4 "good" tapes out, connecting the
tape drive to the old backup server, and trying backups using the same "bad"
tapes and slots. That would rule out tapes and slots. any suggestions much
appreciated, bacula is breaking me
At least it's Friday,
