[Bacula-users] Dell PowerVault 124T tape drive

2011-04-13 Thread Steffen Fritz
Hey folks,


something strange is happening within my bacula configuration. Every help is 
much appreciated!

1. This is, what bconsole-- status tells me about my tape drive. No pool? 

Device Drive-1 (/dev/nst0) is mounted with:
Volume:  sonntag
Pool:*unknown*
Media type:  LTO-4
Drive 0 status unknown.
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=0 Block=0


Used Volume status:
sonntag on device Drive-1 (/dev/nst0)
Reader=0 writers=0 devres=0 volinuse=0




So, I can't update via update, right? How can I add a pool afterwards? 


Best,

Steffen

If you are using a bacula earlier than 5.0.3 (I believe), then if there 
is a tape change during a backup, this can happen--when I've seen this 
issue, the tape was actually in a pool, it was (mostly) a display 
issue--however, it manifested that subsequent jobs couldn't start due to 
this, until the running job (that triggered the tape change) finished.  
In 5.0.3, I've heard some confirmation that this issue has been 
fixed--certainly I haven't seen the issue myself since switching to 
5.0.3, but I never saw it very often earlier--so my datapoints are 
incomplete.

I saw it consistently in 5.0.2, never again once I moved to 5.0.3.  I consider 
it fixed.
