In bacularis, when you go to volumes does the tape show as "inchanger= yes"? If not, you need to do a scan of the changer inventory slots (possible there in bacularis on volumes page). I forget what the button says but it's at the top of volumes page. I select our changer and specify to scan slots 1-24. You'd probably select your changer and type 1-8 for which slots to scan since iirc you have an 8 bay changer.
Also in bacularis, what does the does the job itself say after running job? Does job hang and wait forever saying "please load a tape" (i am paraphrasing the message it will give)? Or does job fail automatically and end the job running state? Robert Gerber 402-237-8692 r...@craeon.net On Mon, Feb 26, 2024, 11:48 AM Stefan G.
