Hi folks,
I'm about to use the "update slots scan" bconsole command for the
first time as I'm fed up with doing all the manual work changing a set
of tapes involves.
In a perfect (bacula) world, this command would achieve the following:
- load all tapes in the changer one after the other
- if a slot is empty but expected to be full according to the Media
table, the volume would be set to state "archive" an its inChanger
flag to zero
- if the slot is full, but an empty tape is detected, the tape would
be auto-labelled, with the expected (but no longer present) tape in
that slot being set to archive / inchanger = 0
- if the slot is full and the volume has a label that has a Media
record but is set to "archive", bacula would set the volume status to
"full" or "recycle" and inchanger to "1", updating the slot record.
- If the volume has a bacula label that bacula does not know of, an
additional parameter would allow me to relabel / null the tape and add
the new volume to the pool.
So, am I dreaming or would the update slots scan command work in a
similar fashion?
Thanks, Uwe
