Thanks Ralf. How many drives do you have in your new tape library?
Can you share your bacula-fd.conf file?

Old and new tape library do have a single drive.

At the moment all the bacula-fd.conf are looking like the following - all backup jobs per host are running parallel.

I will remove the director for "host-old" in the near future. At the moment some very few jobs on host-old are still running.

Director {
Name = host-old-dir
Password = "1234"
}

Director {
Name = host-new-dir
Password = "1234"
}

Director {
Name = host-old-mon
Password = "1234"
Monitor = yes
}

FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = server-xy-fd # File-Daemon on Server "server-xy"
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula/working
Pid Directory = /var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}

Messages {
Name = Standard
director = host-new-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
}

Thanks Ralf. I made a typo. I actually wanted to see your bacula-sd.conf file.

Anyway, my library has TWO LTO6 drives and I have to define both drives explicitly. Else the autochanger gets mightily confused which drive to use.

Following is my "flawlessly working for the past 9 years" configuration for the IBM TS3200 tape library.

######## START ######################

Autochanger {

Name = TS3200_2_DRV1

Device = LTO6_1 # If you need to add more use comma separation

Changer Device = /dev/sg3 # This is mapped to the AutoLoader

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi |egrep "^Host:|3573\-TL"|awk 'BEGIN{i=-1} { if ( /3573\-TL/ ) {print "/dev/sg"i; exit}; if ( /^Host:/ ) { i++ } }'

Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"

}

Autochanger {

Name = TS3200_2_DRV2

Device = LTO6_2 # If you need to add more use comma separation

Changer Device = /dev/sg3 # This is mapped to the AutoLoader

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi |egrep "^Host:|3573\-TL"|awk 'BEGIN{i=-1} { if ( /3573\-TL/ ) {print "/dev/sg"i; exit}; if ( /^Host:/ ) { i++ } }'

Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"

}

Device {

Name = LTO6_1

Drive Index = 0 # First drive is 0, second is 1 etc.

Media Type = LTO6

Archive Device = /dev/LTO6_1 # Device nstX created automatically by st daemon.

AutoChanger = yes

AutoSelect = yes # automatically use this device for backups

AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it

AlwaysOpen = yes # Default value yes

RemovableMedia = yes

RandomAccess = no

Requires Mount = no

Maximum Open Wait = 3000 # Default value 300

Maximum Rewind Wait = 3000 # Default value 300

Maximum Changer Wait = 300 # default is 120 secs

Maximum Job Spool Size = 8G # default is unlimited

Spool Directory = "/var/spool/bacula"

Label Type = IBM

Check Labels = yes

LabelMedia = no

Hardware End of Medium = No # defaut is Yes

Fast Forward Space File = No # This line required if above HEOM is set to "No"

BSF at EOM = no # Default is no

Two EOF = no

Volume Poll Interval = 300 # Poll the drive to seek the status
