Well, they are related in my head at least :-)
I wiped all the labels on my tapes and did "label barcodes" and
everything seems to have gone fine and they all got added to the
default pool.
Except for 2 tapes. 000006L4 and 000100L4
The latter I can understand because it is a cleaning tape. So I'm
poking around to try to figure out how to deal with cleaning tapes and
I see "Cleaning Prefix". I don't have a barcode with a special prefix
on that tape (though I can look to see whether I have one if that
simplifies things), but this page suggests I can just put the whole
barcode into the pool definition and be done
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Autochanger_Resource.html
So I did that but I"m not sure how to tell whether or not that did
anything (I did restart services after adding it)
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 31 days
Purge Oldest Volume = yes
Maximum Volumes = 24
JobRetention = 90 days
FileRetention = 60 days
CleaningPrefix = 000100L4
}
Also there is the matter of the other tape, which is in slot 8. I am
not sure why it did not get added. Now I'd like to manually add it
to the pool but when I use the "add" command it gives me some odd
options which don't seem to make sense. What the heck does "Enter
Base Volume Name" mean? I want it to keep the name it has, I don't
want a new name.
*add
You probably don't want to be using this command since it
creates database records without labeling the Volumes.
You probably want to use the "label" command.
