Hello Luke,

I noticed you are using "/dev/tape/by-path/"  for the tape drives archive device configuraton. It is safer to use "/dev/tape/by-id" to avoid tape drives be twisted after server reboots, for example.

It is even more safe to use udev rules based on your tape drives attributes (such as serial number and model) to have specific device names configured to be used by bacula for archive device.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Ana

Hi Kern,

Thanks for the reply. The " Specified slot ignored." error was my fault - I tried to mount to a drive which was already loaded. I did run through those steps again with success, but copied the wrong 'mount; results into my email.

I labeled all the tapes with their virtual bar codes using 'label barcodes' then 'update slots'. The label listed using mtx for this volume is correct and it was working well for several months so I assume it has since been corrupted.

Your comment on connectivity in the could resonates with me based on my experience using Bacula with AWS storage gateway for 6-9 months. If the gateway is running 24/7 then I have zero connectivity issues and zero device errors. This is one reason I decided to locate the Bacula server on the same subnet in AWS as the storage gateway - the connection is extremely responsive. I think that having the Bacula server in our local network and communicating to a remote AWS storage gateway would present more connectivity problems.

Your comment about Bacula assuming that all I/O works really seems to me to be the source of my current problem. Since I started shutting the storage gateway down every day from 2:30 AM - 10:30 PM I've noticed that sometimes the iscsi devices do no reconnect from the Bacula server to the Gateway. Or, if they do reconnect they sometimes have conflicting or incorrect iscsi device mapping. So far, I have noticed that this kind of error effects the mapping of the drive changer being listed on the same path as a drive. A reboot of the Bacula server usually clears this up.

However, if there is some kind of iscsi mapping problem and Bacula starts i'ts jobs I can see how this would result in all kinds of problems. I'm assuming this is what happened here.

I could try to write a shell script on the Bacula server which checks iscsi mapping before Bacula starts it's nightly jobs. Then, if the shell script notices a device mapping problem and can't fix it, it would shut down Bacula and email me. This wouldn't solve the mapping problem, but it might help me avoid corrupted volumes because I could login and correct mapping and then kick the Bacula jobs off.  What do you think?

Thank you!

Hello,

It seems to me that there is at least one problem in the output below -- most likely indicating configuration problems.

See comments below ...

OK, so I've gone through my drives, mounting and unmounting from within Bacula and then checking those results in MTX to see if there are any discrepancies.

I should note that I modified my SD config file to change the device names to match the drive index. Maybe I should have waited to make that change until after these tests...... wanted to mention it in case you notice a change in drive numbers.

Output:

*mount

3001 OK mount requested. Specified slot ignored. Device="Drive-0" (/dev/tape/by-path/ip-172.31.52.111:3260-iscsi-iqn.1997-05.com.amazon:sgw-c2e005ab-tapedrive-01-lun-0-nst)
The above message indicates that Bacula does not recognize the drive as being in an autochanger.  Did you miss specifying Autochanger=yes, in the Dir or SD (Device) confs?

Further below, I see that the Volume label seems to be incorrect. I cannot comment on it since we cannot see how you labeled the volume.  On that Volume and possibly others, you should if it does not contain any important data, completely eliminate it both in Bacula and AWS then recreate it.

Note, with this kind of a setup for driving AWS, if you have the slightest communications error, you will probably end up with a Volume that is not readable. In general Bacula assumes that all I/O works if it does not get any errors. Given that communicating with the cloud is not any where near as reliable as a local autochanger, the possibility for problems is high. 

In the Bacula Cloud implementation that you should get early next year, I have designed around these kinds of problems.

Kern

Any ideas why this would happen? This also explains (I think) why the jobs were asking me to mount a volume or label a new one.......

Luke,

 

This usually happens when the path to the device in Bacula does not line up with the OS.  For each drive one at a time, mount a volume in bconsole and verify with mtx status that it is where it is expected to be.  Release the volume and verify that it has returned to its slot.  Go through all of your drives that you have defined.  This should find where the drive configurations need to be modified.  One suggestion, it is best to name your bacula drives with the same numeric as the index.  Tends to cause identification issues otherwise.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Please mount append Volume or label a new one - help needed

 

​​

Hello everyone,

I'm really struggling to solve a problem with my bacula setup and I could use some guidance or helpful comments, PLEASE PLEASE. I've been using Bacula for about six months with an AWS storage gateway with success, but still have so much to learn. I would welcome any help!!

I've tried to walk through this current problem, read the docs, search the web - but I'm really stuck.

some quick background:

I started shutting down the storage gateway from most of the day because why run it when my backups aren't scheduled until 11:00 pm? This worked fine for about a week, then I started getting messages in the jobs asking 'Please mount append Volume "xxxxx" or label a new one for' the job.

So, I 'update slots' to make sure nothing got out of alignment and ran a job again:

27-Jun 13:03 bacula-dir JobId 419: Start Backup JobId 419, Job=crashbox.2017-06-27_13.03.25_03
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-dir JobId 419: Using Device "Drive-4" to write.

27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 11, drive 0" command.
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 11, drive 3" command.
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 11, drive 3", status is OK.
27-Jun 13:03 bacula-sd JobId 419: Please mount append Volume "BAKEEC9D4D" or label a new one for:

It seemed like the autochanger was working properly - moving tapes around as needed. But, when I check which volumes are actually listed in the slots using MTX, I got a different result:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-2414d5a4e5f5347572d433245 status | head -n 50

SO - bacula was saying that slot 11 is in drive 3, status ok
BUT, mtx was saying that slot 11 is in drive 1.

I stopped bacula-dir and bacula-sd, then used manual mtx commands to unload / load the tapes out of the drives, then restarted bacula, updated slots, volumes and pools, but I keep getting errors about 'Please mount append Volume "BAKEEC9D4D" or label a new one for' the job - even though now the drives and volumes seem to line up with mtx data:

It looks to me like the correct volume is loaded in the correct drive. Also, this volume has been written to for several months with no issues. It's not new.

A query on the bacula database shows that the volume is recorded in the proper slot and listed with the 'append' status:

Volume name     Bytes             Media Type     Expire     Last written     Status     Slot
BAKEEC9D4D     298.76 GB     ULT3580-TD5     n/a     2017-06-24 23:05:45     Append     11

Is it something in my config?
