+As far as i understood the ak-mtx-changer.txt it's simply a
+human-resource-changer!?!
+In the past every single server had it's own DDS-3 Tape, since we switch
+ to a centralized networkbackup all these drives are unused.
+Now i took 6 of these drives and placed it in large case on one
+scsi-controller. Running bacula with multitape-changer these six drives
+are used as one drive with a 6-Slot-Changer!
+
+Regards,
+Mario
+
+PS: I've posted a deploy-script (deploy windows-fd from linux, automated
+ your hints) a few days ago over gmane to the devellist. This message
+was never posted and i got no error message. Maybe problem with the size
+(Windows-FD was attached!) ???
+
+[pasted the hints once again for Kern!]
+
+Example:
+bacula-dir.conf:
+
+# Definition of DDS tape storage device
+Storage {
+ Name = Multitape
+ #Do not use "localhost" here
+ Address = mystorage # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
+ SDPort = 9103
+ Password = "strongsecret" # password for Storage daemon
+ Device = Multitape
+ Autochanger = yes
+ Media Type = DDS-3
+}
+
+bacula-sd.conf:
+Device {
+ Name = Multitape #
+ Media Type = DDS-3
+ Archive Device = /dev/tape
+ AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
+ AlwaysOpen = yes;
+ RemovableMedia = yes;
+ RandomAccess = no;
+ # That's the magic!!!
+ Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/multitape-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
+ Changer Device = /dev/null
+ AutoChanger = yes
+}
+
+Hints:
+- Important to use a virtual name! multidrive-changer will create links!
+ (Archive Device = /dev/tape)
+- It's a bash script not a sh script!
+- SD must run as root or the multitape-changer must be called with sudo
+to have write permission to the /dev dir!
+- the default-config does an umount on tape-change! Don't switch this!
+SD has to release the device-file!
+- don't use your tapedrives directly anymore! SD does not know that
+/dev/tape is /dev/nst0!
+- don't remove the sleep 1 after getslot...! Without the sleep you will
+get a "Operation not permitted" error!
+- only tested with Debian/GNU-Linux-SID

+Subject: RE: [Bacula-devel] ANSI label tape creation tools for VM
+Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 11:03:26 -0500
+
+I don't seem to have a way to update the CVS (nor really a lot of
+experience with *update* access to the beastie), so appended below are
+some example scripts to use on a z/VM system to create labeled tapes
+suitable for use with the ANSI label support in Bacula. I suggest that
+we put these in the "examples" section of the tree as contributed tools
+-- I'll leave it to your discretion as to where/how to tag these.
+
+I'm finishing up the documentation and packaging for my z/VM tape mount
+helper daemon and mtx-changer variant, so you may want to think about
+where those should go as well.
+
+File BLABELA EXEC is the script for creating ANSI labeled tapes with the
+proper signature.
+
+File BLABELI EXEC is a variation of the above script for creating IBM SL
+label tapes with the proper signature.
+
+File BACULA.DATA is a dummy file required by the annoying fact that the
+OS simulation routines in CMS require an actual file as input to the OS
+sim file creation utility (grr).

+Tape Mount Client/Server for z/VM
+
+This package provides a simple Linux client and a VM disconnected
+virtual machine allowing Linux applications to mount and manage
+tapes hosted by a z/VM systems.
+
+The tools were written to support running Bacula, a open-source
+file level backup tool, as a Linux appliance running in a z/VM
+virtual machine, however they are general purpose enough to
+employ with other applications with some minor thought. The
+application consists of a Perl script to run within the Linux
+guest, and a REXX/CMS Pipelines-based server to interact with a
+CMS-based tape management system.
+
+This package contains only the support for basic VM tape
+operations, and does not include support for the popular
+commercial TMS systems such as CA-VM:Tape or others. A
+commercially supported version is available for a fee from Sine
+Nomine and includes detailed documentation, 24x7 support, and
+additional features. Please contact Sine Nomine at info (at)
+sinenomine.net for information and pricing for the full
+commercial version of the software.
