Re: [Bacula-users] Getting device / autochanger status for external script?
Why not use mtx to figure out the tape status? mtx -f /dev/sg1 status Storage Changer /dev/sg1:2 Drives, 48 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 43 Loaded):VolumeTag = JX2072L3 Data Transfer Element 1:Full (Storage Element 6 Loaded):VolumeTag = AX7578L4 Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=AX7336L4 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=AX7577L4 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=AX7339L4 Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=AX7337L4 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=AX7335L4 Storage Element 6:Empty Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=AX7320L4 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=AX7328L4 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=AX7329L4 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=AX7576L4 Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=JX2050L3 -Jason On Thu, 2008-02-07 at 16:49 -0500, John Stoffel wrote: > > "Mark" == Mark Nienberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Mark> John Stoffel wrote: > Mark> John Stoffel wrote: > even if you *don't care* which drive gets used, bacula should just > pick it's own damm drive for the checking, if needed.

Yeah, and bacula just seems to keep the drive status somewhere internally, but not in the DB where it could be queried externally.

Mark> The number of slots for example: Mark> /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg0 slots Sure, but I'm starting to think that it would be nice if the autochanger resource record included a record for the number of slots in a jukebox. And even a way to specify that a certain range of slots is to be only used for cleaning tapes. Then, putting this info into the DB would be nice as well. It's not like it changes often (relatively speaking) and again would let you query things better. We already have a Devices table, just adding in an Autochanger table would be nice.

"status storage" is the only way I know to get bacula's opinion of what tape is in what drive. My changer came with a utility program that can output the slot occupants and the tape drive status. Maybe you have something similar? Otherwise mtx or the bacula mtx-changer script can do some of this.

I can already get this information from the DB using my script. I'm now looking for: 1. Number of slots in jukebox 2. Which tape(s) are in which drive(s).
