+\section{Bacula Enterprise 6.0.2}
+
+To make Bacula function properly with multiple Autochanger definition in the
+Director configuration, you must adapt your {\bf bacula-dir.conf} {\bf Storage}
+directives.
+
+\smallskip
+Each autochanger that you have defined in an {\bf Autochanger} 
+resource in the Storage daemon's {\bf bacula-sd.conf} file,
+must have a corresponding {\bf Autochanger} resource defined
+in the Director's {\bf bacula-dir.conf} file.  Normally you will
+already have a {\bf Storage} resource that points to the
+Storage daemon's {\bf Autochanger} resource.  Thus you need
+only to change the name of the {\bf Storage} resource to
+{\bf Autochanger}.  In addition no {\bf Autochanger = yes}
+directive is needed in the Director's {\bf Autochanger} resource.
+
+\smallskip
+In addition to the above change ({\bf Storage} to {\bf Autochanger}),
+you must modify any additional {\bf Storage} resources that correspond
+to devices that are part of the {\bf Autochanger} device.
+Instead of the previous {\bf Autochanger = yes} directive they
+should be modified to be {\bf Autochanger = xxx} where you
+replace the {\bf xxx} with the name of the Autochanger.
+
+\smallskip
+For example, in the bacula-dir.conf file:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+Autochanger {             # New resource
+  Name = Changer-1
+  Address = cibou.company.com
+  SDPort = 9103
+  Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
+  Device = LTO-Changer-1
+  Media Type = LTO-4
+  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 50
+}
+
+Storage {
+  Name = Changer-1-Drive0
+  Address = cibou.company.com
+  SDPort = 9103
+  Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
+  Device = LTO4_1_Drive0
+  Media Type = LTO-4
+  Autochanger = Changer-1  # New directive
+  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
+}
+
+Storage {
+  Name = Changer-1-Drive1
+  Address = cibou.company.com
+  SDPort = 9103
+  Password = "xxxxxxxxxx"
+  Device = LTO4_1_Drive1
+  Media Type = LTO-4
+  Autochanger = Changer-1  # New directive
+  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
+}
+
+...
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that Storage resources {\bf Changer-1-Drive0} and 
+{\bf Changer-1-Drive1} are not required since they make
+up part of an autochanger. However, by referring to those
+Storage definitions in a job, you will be sure to use only
+the indicated drive.  This is probably most used for
+reserving a drive for restores.  See the Storage daemon
+example .conf below and the use of {\bf AutoSelect = no}.
+
+So, in summary, the changes are:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Remove the {\bf Shared Storage = yes} from the {\bf Director}
+resource.
+\item Change {\bf Storage} to {\bf Autochanger} in the LTO4 resource.
+\item Remove the {\bf Autochanger = yes} from the {\bf Autochanger}
+LTO4 resource.
+\item Change the {\bf Autochanger = yes} in each of the {\bf Storage}
+device that belong to the {\bf Autochanger} to point to the
+{\bf Autochanger} resource with for the example above the
+directive {\bf Autochanger = LTO4}.
+\end{itemize}
