Hi folks, I'm about to use the "update slots scan" bconsole command for the first time as I'm fed up with doing all the manual work changing a set of tapes involves.
In a perfect (bacula) world, this command would achieve the following: - load all tapes in the changer one after the other - if a slot is empty but expected to be full according to the Media table, the volume would be set to state "archive" an its inChanger flag to zero - if the slot is full, but an empty tape is detected, the tape would be auto-labelled, with the expected (but no longer present) tape in that slot being set to archive / inchanger = 0 - if the slot is full and the volume has a label that has a Media record but is set to "archive", bacula would set the volume status to "full" or "recycle" and inchanger to "1", updating the slot record. - If the volume has a bacula label that bacula does not know of, an additional parameter would allow me to relabel / null the tape and add the new volume to the pool. So, am I dreaming or would the update slots scan command work in a similar fashion? Thanks, Uwe -- NIONEX --- Ein Unternehmen der Bertelsmann SE & Co.
