Hi, I am considering upgrade to version 2.0.2 from 1.36.1 we are using now. Could someone please confirm that the documentation regarding autochanger support is current and correct in the on-line User's Manual? I am asking because the configuration described under Autochanger Resource section:
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Autochanger_Resource.html differs from what we have in the working one at the moment. Autochanger device is Qaulstar RLS-4445 with one AIT tape drive installed. Bacula (1.36.1) has been set up several years ago by my predecessor. He has commented out the configuration examples for Autochanger resource that were included with the sample config files and replaced them by different config. I guess that: a) the configuration documented in User's Manual was supported since at least version 1.36.1 and was not changed or updated since then b) this configuration did not work for some reason with the version 1.36.1 and hence needed to be amended. The difference is that according to User's Manual, one should first describe all tape drives in the changer as separate Devices (adding Autochanger = yes directive to each Device resource) and then define Autochanger resource, listing all tape drives under Device directive in it. The configuration we use does not define an Autochanger resource at all but instead have a single Device defined with Autochanger = yes directive and all other changer-relevant directives set inside of it (bacula-sd.conf): Device { Name = Splicer Media Type = SDX700-C Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg1 Autochanger = yes Drive Index = 0 Spool Directory = "/mnt/bacula/spool" } and also in the bacula-dir.conf: # Definition of Autochanger device Storage { Name = AIT3-Changer Address = domain.name.org Device = "Splicer" Password = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Autochanger = yes Media Type = SDX700-C } This configuration works, but I am not sure if it will still work with version 2.0.2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
