Re: [Bacula-users] How to unload all loaded tapes to library ?
Hello Adam, I'm having an "Always Open = No" and an "Automount = yes" in my bacula-sd.conf so when bacula needs a tape he automatically mounts the right slot and gives it back when its not needed anymore. With this I have no need to umount the drive from the bacula-console to change my tapes in the library.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to unload all loaded tapes to library ?
You didn't mention which version of bacula you are running but I know
2.0.2 has a 'release' command that releases the tape and bacula knows to
check the drive before trying to access it the next time.
Not sure what version it was introduced in however.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to unload all loaded tapes to library ?
Forgot to mention that in the older 1.38.x version of Bacula I used
'update slots' to trigger an unload of the tape. We were then able to
use the controls on the front of the autochanger to swap tapes in the
unit with new ones.
I only have 8 slots in my autochanger so it doesn't take long to update
them.
However, the new 2.x version of Bacula, 'update slots' no longer unloads
the tape.
Cheers,
Troy.

Re: [Bacula-users] How to unload all loaded tapes to library ?
Hi,
Thanks for you reply. I made my own script based on yours and I added
stuff to set inchanger flag to no for all volumes.
Here is the script :
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf <> ${temp}
done
cat ${temp} | bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf
rm ${temp}
And bacula-dir.conf :
Job {
Name = "Eject-tapes"
Type = admin
Client = srv-mpp-lrs-fd
Messages = Standard
Storage = Autochanger
Pool = Weekly, Daily
FileSet = "Dummy"
RunBeforeJob = "/etc/bacula/scripts/eject_tapes"
Priority = 99
}
FileSet {
Name = "Dummy"
}
It seems to do the job for now !
