Hello,

Is there any method for querying Bacula to get which tapes are where, given
that you have multiple autoloaders of the same MediaType?
In the database it puts down Slot, InChanger for any given Media that is in the
changer via 'update slots', but where is it storing what tape drive? Is that
just in the Storage Daemon's memory?
You might want to upgrade to 1.37 (upcoming 1.38) as this supports
autochanger better, more flexible... in the catalog it registers a
StorageId which represents the actual autoloader, and using this
information you get the necessary information.
For 1.36, there is actually no representation of which autoloader
contains which media, I worked around this by using different media
types and patching the code which updates the media information.
This is all without barcode equipment, so I'm guessing the easy answer is to
maintain a file as described in the 'Simulating Barcodes' section of the
Autochangers chapter, but I'm actually generally curious as to how Bacula knows
what is where.
1.37.30 supports this better - but note that I haven't stress-tested it
yet :-)
