EXABYTE 110 L autochanger problem

Hi,

Hi !

I'm trying to run my autochanger (EXABYTE 110L under Mandriva 2007) with
BACULA 2.0.2 but still without any effects.
Test by btape seems to be good:

/301 Issuing autochanger "loaded" command.
Slot 1 loaded. I am going to unload it.
3302 Issuing autochanger "unload 1 0" command.
unload status=OK 0

07-mar 21:25 btape: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 1.
btape: btape.c:368 open device "Driv1" (/dev/nst0): OK
btape: btape.c:1235 Rewound "Driv1" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:1242 Wrote EOF to "Driv1" (/dev/nst0)/

/The test autochanger worked!!

/but I can't still use in bconsole "update slots":

*update slots

/Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Automatically selected Storage: Drive-1
Connecting to Storage daemon Drive-1 at localhost:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "Drive-1" has 0 slots.

This looks like the mtx-changer script doesn't report the number of slots.

What happens if you run mtx-changer on the command line (as a user that
can access the device!) like this:
'./mtx-changer /dev/sg2 slots'

If that doesn't report anything, or a "0", you should have a close look
at what the script does.

It might be a permissions problem.

No slots in changer to scan./

My sd config:

/Autochanger {
Name = "Drive-1"
Device = Driv1
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S /dev/nst0 0"
}/

/Device {
Name = Driv1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = "Ultrium 1"
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutoChanger = yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
}
/

and dir config:

/Storage {
Name = "Drive-1"
Address = myhost
SDPort = 9103
Password = "xxxxxx"
Device = "Drive-1"
Media Type = "Ultrium 1"
Autochanger = yes
}/

Could anyone help me ?

This looks like the mtx-changer script doesn't report the number of =

slots.

What happens if you run mtx-changer on the command line (as a user t=
hat
can access the device!) like this:
'./mtx-changer /dev/sg2 slots'

If that doesn't report anything, or a "0", you should have a close l=
ook
at what the script does.

It might be a permissions problem.

=20
I've checked it from two possible accounts. Everything seems to be O.K=
=2E=20
but the autochanger still can't read the slots :
=20
/bacula < at > BACK/ <mailto:bacula < at > BACK>/ bacula]$ ./mtx-changer /dev/sg2 slo=
ts
10
/
=20
What should be wronge else ??

Hmm... I suggest you enable debug output for the SD by starting the SD=20
like 'bacula-sd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -d 400 -f -v'.

This will run the SD in the foreground and produce lots of debug output.

Then, start ONE job to use the tape changer and see what that produces=20
when a tape nees to be changed. You could then post the relevant part of =

the output here.

Alternatively, you could add some debug output to mtx-changer and=20
redirect that to some log file.

By the way - I notice something in the configuration only now... see=20
below. For example I have the following above the first test clause:

echo "------" >>/var/log/mtx-changer.log
echo "Called with $ < at > at `date`" >>/var/log/mtx-changer.log

and this (on one line)

echo "Doing mtx -f $ctl -- to get count of slots at `date`"=20
/var/log/mtx-changer.log

after the "slots)" in the final case switch.

Then I find "Doing mtx -f /dev/sg7 -- to get count of slots at Thu Mar=20
8 22:17:19 CET 2007" in the log file while I'm running a job spanning tap=
es.

You could easily add the raw output from the mtx command to the log to=20
see if the output, for some reason doesn't fit to what the awk expects.

Alex

No slots in changer to scan./

My sd config:

/Autochanger {
Name =3D "Drive-1"
Device =3D Driv1
Changer Device =3D /dev/sg2
Changer Command =3D "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S /dev/nst0 0"=

This line above - it's probably better to write

Changer Command =3D "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"

so that you don't have to keep the configuration current in two places.

I don't think this is related to the problem you have as the information =

should be correct for you.
