Hello,
Just wanted to report in that I've successfully gotten our new
Autochanger to work. Here's the details:
http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SuperLoader3/Index.aspx#Specifications
(we have the LTO-2 HH version)
loaderinfo -f /dev/sg1
Product Type: Medium Changer
Vendor ID: 'QUANTUM '
Product ID: 'UHDL '
Revision: '0030'
Attached Changer: No
Bar Code Reader: No
EAAP: Yes
Number of Medium Transport Elements: 1
Number of Storage Elements: 16
Number of Import/Export Element Elements: 0
Number of Data Transfer Elements: 1
Transport Geometry Descriptor Page: Yes
Invertable: No
Device Configuration Page: Yes
Can Transfer: Yes
Loaderinfo is actually mistaken: There is a Bar Code Reader and it is
working fine in mtx status. Unfortunately mtx also doesn't recognize the
mail-in slot (but we won't be using that one anyway).
tapeinfo -f /dev/sg0
Product Type: Tape Drive
Vendor ID: 'CERTANCE'
Product ID: 'ULTRIUM 2 '
Revision: '1775'
Attached Changer: No
SerialNumber: '<removed>'
MinBlock:1
MaxBlock:16777215
SCSI ID: 5
SCSI LUN: 0
Ready: no
bacula-sd.conf definitions are the default ones: I took the predefined
examples, added the device paths (/dev/nst0 for the drive and /dev/sg1
for the changer) and a Maximum Changer Wait = 240 just to be sure.
btape test succeeded for the drive and the loader.
Basic backup and restore succeeded too. (Even tested restoring a backup
that spanned over the tape end, worked like a charm.)
Now I can finally retire that old OnStream DI-30 IDE beast. ;)
Greetings,
Michel
