[Bacula-users] Btape - cannot pass

[Hicks, Daniel CTR OSD DMEA]

Hello all,

I am running Bacula 7.4.7 on a Centos 7 server with a HP-Overland tape / autoloader.

Within bconsole I can inventory the autoloader, mount and move tapes around.

However, when I run btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 I get the following:

20-July 11:54 btape: Fatal Error ad device.c:300 because:
Dev open failed: tape_dev.c:164 Unable to open device "HP-Overland" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Device or resource busy

Btape: butyl.c:199-0 Cannot open "HP-Overland" (/dev/nst0)
20-Jul 11:59 btape JobId 0: Fatal error: butyl.c:199 Cannot open "HP-Overland" (/dev/nst0)

Any help would be great

Thanks

Hello Daniel,

This is usually to the drive tape being used on locked by any other process.

For example, you cannot even btape tests and have the tape drive locked by
Bacula Storage Daemon.

Best regards,
Ana
