[Bacula-users] update slots scan (Does it work for anyone?)

[Thomas Obenaus]

Hi all,

I am using bacula-mysql-1.34.2-1.
I have a PowerVault 122T SDLT320 autoloader with no barcode reader.
The bconsole command 'update slots scan' does not seem to function
properly although bacula has no problem moving tapes around with the
autoloader otherwise.
According to the manual 'update slots scan' is supposed to update the
slots for each volume in the autoloader.

Does anyone have a similar problem or know what my problem might be?

*update slots scan
Storage resource "slots": not found
Automatically selected Storage: PowerVault 122T SDLT320
Connecting to Storage daemon PowerVault 122T SDLT320 at
bacula.intelerad:9103 ...
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 1.
3305 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 1" command.
3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
Invalid Slot number: Storage Element ::Storage Element 1:Full
Invalid Slot number: Storage Element ::Storage Element 4:Full
No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes.


Any insights are appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

Your "mtx-changer" script is incorrect (it's incorrect as shipped
in 1.34.2). Change the lines that read:

list)
# echo "Requested list"
${MTX} -f $ctl status | grep " *Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | awk "{print \$slot \$device}" | sed "s/Full *\(:VolumeTag=\)*//"
;;

into something similar to this:

list)
# echo "Requested list"
${MTX} -f $ctl status | tr ':=' ' ' | nawk '($1 == "Storage" && $2 == "Element" && $4 == "Full") { printf "%s
:%s\n", $3, $6 }'
;;

Thanks Peter,
changing the line in mtx-changer makes bacula recognize the changer
output for the listing:

- ${MTX} -f $ctl status | grep " *Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" |
awk "{print \$slot \$device}" | sed "s/Full *\(:VolumeTag=\)*//"
+ ${MTX} -f $ctl status | tr ':' ' ' | awk '($1 == "Storage" && $2
== "Element" && $4 == "Full") { printf "%s:%s\n", $3, $6 }'

Now 'update slots scan' terminates after reading the first tape, and it
does not update the slots in the output:

ya, it is queried for "OffSiteLevel0Tape01" and not for
OffSiteLevel0Tape01 - there too much \".

Try using the new mtx-changer.in file that I just emailed.
