Hi Arno, Thanks for the quick reply. I did actually try to implement the "autochanger" configuration but ran into mounting problems. So, my thought was to get the configuration working that worked before.
The problem was that I was unable to specify a drive (by its index) to be mounted/unmounted, it always ran the command on drive 0. Definition of tape storage device in the director configuration: >>> Storage { Name = Autochanger Address = 216.113.192.114 SDPort = 9103 Password = "quiGfr+aOr7e/v7a8ghWsIsmV7zTocCadJKR3puuHj1c" Device = DLT8000-1 Device = DLT8000-2 Media Type = DLT8000 Autochanger = yes Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8 <<< The autochanger and DLT 8000 Drives as defined in the storage configuration: >>> Autochanger { Name = Autochanger Device = DLT8000-1 Device = DLT8000-2 Changer Command = "/usr/local/bacula/scripts/chio-bacula %c %o %s %d" Changer Device = /dev/ch0 } Device { Name = DLT8000-1 Description = "DLT8000-1" Media Type = DLT8000 Archive Device = /dev/sa0 AutomaticMount = yes; AutoChanger= yes; AlwaysOpen = yes Hardware End of Medium = no BSF at EOM = yes Backward Space Record = no Fast Forward Space File = no TWO EOF = yes Drive Index = 0 Spool Directory = /spool Maximum Job Spool Size = 8G Maximum Spool Size = 120G } Device { Name = DLT8000-2 Description = "DLT8000-2" Media Type = DLT8000 Archive Device = /dev/sa1 AutomaticMount = yes; AutoChanger= yes; AlwaysOpen = yes Hardware End of Medium = no BSF at EOM = yes Backward Space Record = no Fast Forward Space File = no TWO EOF = yes Drive Index = 1 Spool Directory = /spool Maximum Job Spool Size = 8G Maximum Spool Size = 120G } <<< Did I miss something that would specify the drives more clearly to bacula? -Andreas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Arno Lehmann Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 2:18 PM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Manual intervention needed to change tapes Hello, On 1/24/2006 10:09 PM, Andreas Freyvogel wrote: > Greetings everyone, > > We have recently been having a problem where Bacula is no longer > automatically changing tapes and it is requiring manual intervention.

Ok, that's the hint... you recently upgraded. First, verify that you've got the necessary and newly introduced Autochanger section in SD configuration. If you've not got that, you have to kill your running jobs :-| because the SD needs a restart after that modification. (And remember to do the full btape test routine after modifying the SD configuration...) Apart from that, I guess the catalog is not yet in the right state, i.e. the relationship between the Media information Slot and InChanger and the newly created StorageId is not correct. Try to clear all changer-related information from the catalog, for example using a sql query like 'update Media set Slot=0,InChanger=0;' and do an 'update slots' afterwards. Should work, then.
