Thanks for the reply Ana.
Here is most of the info you asked. I will work on running btape again but now it is just timing out and saying that the device cannot be accessed when I try to run the fill test.

With the current configuration I am now able to complete the following, but when I run btape and try to run the fill test. The tape devices go offline. I need to power cycle the tape device manually.
(stop bacula / storage daemon to run test)
bacula stop or
bacula-sd stop
(load tape into slot 0 on autochanger)
mtx -f /dev/sg4 load 1
TEST 1 - SUCCESSFUL
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
tar cvf /dev/nst0 .
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
tar tvf /dev/nst0
TEST 2 - SUCCESSFUL
btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
* test (command within the btape console)
TEST 3 - SUCCESSFUL
btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
* autochanger (command within the btape console)
TEST 4 -
btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
* fill (command within the btape console)
I am not sure if this is too much info. I have created a migration job. When I run it there are two jobs that are created, a migration and a backup but they just sit there waiting on tape device.

AND PriorJobId != 0)

LIMIT 1;

It would be helpful if you could send to the list the configuration you are using in Bacula for the Autochanger and the btape fill output.
Also, it would be helpful the output of the following commands:

Hello all
I have been working on adding a HP Overland 8 tape drive to my Bacula backup system.
I have the system recognizing the tape and autoloader.
I can run mt and mtx command. I can write to and read from the tapes. I was able to successfully run btape test and autochanger but when I ran the (fill) test the device would be removed from /dev and the test would fail. I then need to power cycle the device.
I have looked at dmesg and there is nothing reported about btape or the devices. I have rebooted the server. I have reset the device to factory default. I have also powered the device off for at least 15 minutes.
Any advice would be great.
