[Bacula-users] Testing Changer?

2007-10-17 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
I've successfully run btape and the test functions on the tape drive in my 
changer.

I can't seem to find any information on how I will be using the changer itself 
now, to add/remove tapes, change them, etc. 

I'm using a 12 drive changer, Qualstar TLS-412360 with only one drive 
installed at this time.

Mike

 As I am testing right now, the changer has 180 slots on the one side which I 
 am using. I need to tell bacula about those slots from what I can tell. Using 
 slot 1 and 2 and such does not seem to work. 
 
 The changers slots are labeled L1A01 to L6C10. I don't see how I am to tell 
 bacula about the slots?

Bacula doesn't care what the slots are called. It just queries mtx for 
information about what slots are available, which slots are full, which 
are empty, and which label (and therefore tape) is in each slot.

Have you tried manipulating the change using mtx?

What does 'mtx -f /dev/sgN status' do?

You should be able to 'update slots' to make bacula see what is in each 
slot, and 'label barcodes' to write the tape label to the tape.

For instance on my autochanger 'update slots' says:

*update slots
Automatically selected Storage: Autochanger
Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at xxx:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger slots command.
Device Autochanger has 24 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon Autochanger at xxx:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger list command.
Catalog record for Volume ABC456L4 updated to reference slot 11.
Catalog record for Volume ABC123L4 updated to reference slot 7.

Whilst mtx gives the following info:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/bacula# mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
   Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
