Bacula 2.2.0 running on SLES 10 with an Ecrix 1.10 autoloader. Here is the
pertinent section of bacula-sd.conf:
# Autochanger resource
Autochanger {
Name = "Auto"
Device = VXA3
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
Changer Command = "/bacula/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %S %qa %d"
}
# Internal VXA-3 Drive
#
Device {
Name = VXA3
Drive Index = 0
Autochanger = yes
Media Type = VXA-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
LabelMedia = Yes
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
and from bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
Name = Auto
Address = 10.1.0.17
SDPort = 9103
Password = "ourpassword"
Device = "Auto"
Media Type = VXA-3
}
Storage {
Name = VXA
Address = 10.1.0.17
SDPort = 9103
Password = "ourpassword"
Device = "VXA3"
Media Type = "VXA-3"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}
When the weekend backup ran it filled up the tape in the drive (A0000004 from
slot 4)and removed it, but it did not load the next tape. I could not get it
to mount A0000005 with any bconsole command. This is the format I tried:
mount <then select either VXA or Auto from the list?>
mount storage=Auto slot=5
However, I could go to the shell prompt, execute ./mtx-changer /dev/sg1 load 5
/dev/nst0 0 to get the tape into the drive, then issue a mount command from
within bconsole. I recall being able to mount tapes from bconsole when I was
testing this setup, so I was confused by this. Also, I had thought that, being
an 'autoloader', this setup would automatically span tapes when necessary (fill
one tape, then autoatically remove it, load and mount the next one). Have I
been laboring under a misconception here?
Incidentally, I just noticed that, in the bacula-dir.conf storage resource
above, the Auto resource media type has no quotes around it, but the VXA
resource's media type does. An oversight on my part, surely, but does it make
any difference? Bacula certainly never complains about a syntax error.
