Setup:
I have 2 DLT drives (a and b) set up to accept jobs dedicated to
each
drive. Certain types of jobs go to a and certain types go to b and
this seems to work fine. The problem I'm running into is having a
drive request media in another drive. Both are valid for writing
and
are in the same pool but for some reason I'll get media mount
requests on drive a for the media in drive b and vic/versa. Anyone
have any ideas why this might be? The two media ID's aren't full
and
the upcoming jobs still show that a backup destined for drive b is
going to request the media already mounted in a.
Which version of Bacula? This should happen rarely since 1.38, I
believe, since in that version the catalog notices which device used a
volume last.
I'm using a binary version for CentOS-5: 2.0.3-1
Suggestions greatly appreciated, Thanks! Lonny
Different media types, but that has been suggested... the catalog
update
fpr the existing volumes is rather simple: In SQL, something like
'UPDATE Media SET MediaType="a" WHERE <however you can most easily
select the volumes>;' is all you need.
You could select by Volume name, with wildcards, or using a list of
volume IDs, for example.
Luckily I only have a few assigned ID's right now so it wasn't a huge deal changing them by name:
Before:
mysql> select MediaID,MediaType from Media;
+---------+-----------+
| MediaID | MediaType |
+---------+-----------+
| 1 | DLT-IV |
| 2 | DLT-IV |
| 3 | DLT-IV |
| 4 | DLT-IVa |
| 5 | DLT-IVb |
+---------+-----------+
mysql> UPDATE Media SET MediaType="DLT-IVa" WHERE MediaID=1;
mysql> UPDATE Media SET MediaType="DLT-IVb" WHERE MediaID=2 OR MediaID=3;
After:
mysql> select MediaID,MediaType from Media;
+---------+-----------+
| MediaID | MediaType |
+---------+-----------+
| 1 | DLT-IVa |
| 2 | DLT-IVb |
| 3 | DLT-IVb |
| 4 | DLT-IVa |
| 5 | DLT-IVb |
+---------+-----------+
Thanks for all the help guys. Hopefully this should be happy tonight :)
