The current Bacula Windows Storage daemon does not support tape drives.  We explicitly turned it off because it seems to be unreliable.

Hello, Bacula Users,

I could not find any information in the manuals about this.

When trying to update slots of a virtual (mhvtl) iSCSI tape library attached to Windows 2012 Server (also tried 2008), I receive this message:

===============================================================

Connecting to Storage daemon Windows at 192.168.0.35:9103 ...

Device "Drive-1" in changer "Autochanger" requested by DIR could not be opened or does not exist.

Device "Drive-2" in changer "Autochanger" requested by DIR could not be opened or does not exist.
3999 Device "Autochanger" not found or could not be opened.

===============================================================

I've tried different archive values for the Changer: Changer0, Changer, SCSI/Changer, with the same result.

Bellow is the device configuration:

=======================

# windows-sd.conf

Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-1
Device = Drive-2
Changer Command = "mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = Changer0
}

Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = "Tape0"
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert"
}

Device {
Name = Drive-2 #
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = LTO
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = "Tape1"
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "tapeinfo -f %c | findstr TapeAlert"
}

Regards,
