Wait a sec - look at this again:
# mtx -f /dev/sg4 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg4:1 Drives, 8 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 4 Loaded):VolumeTag =
CMR921L6
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=CMR904L6
Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=CMR933L6
Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=CMR902L6
Storage Element 4:Empty
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=ARC954L6
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=ARC946L6
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=ARC943L6
Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=ARC939L6
It says data transfer element full with the tape from slot 4. Is that
still the current status? Maybe there is a tape stuck in the robot's
tape changer!
I suggest doing
mtx -f /dev/sg4 status
See what it says now. Maybe it was in the middle of moving the tape, but
if it still says that, then the tape might be stuck.
Also,
<Snip>
mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request
...
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 53
mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 03
</Snip>
Chatgpt 4 says that this error code with qualifying sense codes means
the tape library believes it's physically impossible to remove the
media. Usually caused by mechanical issues, misalignment, jammed media,
or physically damaged tape or drive. Maybe a sticker came off the tape
and it's jammed?
Chatgpt 4:
"MTX Load/Unload Failure: The mtx command failure with the sense key
"Illegal Request" and the additional sense code of 53 03 indicates a
"Media load or eject failed". This usually happens because the tape
drive believes it is physically impossible to load or unload the tape,
potentially due to mechanical issues, a misalignment, or a physically
damaged tape or drive."
I am unable to find a cross reference to validate chatgpt's claim about
the meaning of the error code. On my phone right now, so limited access
to systems I administer.
Thanks, Rob, for all your feedback.
It's getting late here already and I spent all day around this.
I can't check things on site, I am a few hundred kms away from that
installation, and the admin there gets back tomorrow morning.
Still trying to get at least one tape labelled for the daily jobs to run
I could label it, then I try to mount it:
*mount
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Automatically selected Storage: HP-Autoloader
Enter autochanger slot: 1
3304 Issuing autochanger "load Volume , Slot 1, Drive 0" command.
3305 Autochanger "load Volume , Slot 1, Drive 0", status is OK.
[SE0203] The Volume= on device="HP-Ultrium" (/dev/nst0) appears to be
unlabeled.
3902 Cannot mount Volume on Storage Device ""HP-Ultrium" (/dev/nst0)"
because:
Read label block failed: requested Volume "" on Tape device "HP-Ultrium"
(/dev/nst0) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=[SE0203] The
Volume= on device="HP-Ultrium" (/dev/nst0) appears to be unlabeled.
3905 Device ""HP-Ultrium" (/dev/nst0)" open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
So I am caught in some strange loop here.

the whole loader was rebooted multiple times
the admin removed all tapes and reloaded the magazines
ran cleaning tape a few times
we see "media attention" in the WebGUI sometimes, but I can't tell what
that means ...
thanks. getting tired and hungry also ...
