By Internet +standards the period should be two hours, and should be indefinitely +extended if KEEPALIVE is set as is the case by Bacula. If your firewall +or router does not respect these rules, you may find Bacula connections +terminated. In that case, the first thing to try is turning on the +{\bf Heart Beat Interval} both in the File daemon and the Storage daemon +and set an interval of say five minutes. + +Also, if you have denial of service rate limiting in your firewall, this +too can cause Bacula disconnects since Bacula can at times use very high +access rates. To avoid this, you should implement default accept +rules for the Bacula ports involved before the rate limiting rules. diff --git a/docs/manual/supportedchangers.tex b/docs/manual/supportedchangers.tex index 29554648..e9df6ba4 100644 --- a/docs/manual/supportedchangers.tex +++ b/docs/manual/supportedchangers.tex @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ Slot). \multicolumn{1}{c| }{\bf Media } & \multicolumn{1}{c| }{\bf Model } & \multicolumn{1}{c| }{\bf Slots } & \multicolumn{1}{c| }{\bf Cap/Slot } \\ \hline {Linux } & {Adic } & {DDS-3} & {Adic 1200G } & {12} & {-} \\ + \hline {Linux } & {Adic } & {DLT} & {FastStore 4000 } & {7} & {20GB} \\ \hline {Linux } & {Adic } & {LTO-1/2, SDLT 320 } & {Adic Scalar 24 } & {24} & {100GB } \\ \hline {Linux } & {Adic } & {LTO-2 } & {Adic FastStor 2, Sun Storedge L8 } & {8} & {200GB } \\ \hline {- } & {CA-VM } & {?? } & {Tape } & {??} & {?? } \\ @@ -49,7 +50,8 @@ Slot). uncomp } & {QUALSTAR TLS-4210 } & {12} & {AIT1: 36GB, AIT2: 50GB all uncomp }\\ \hline {Linux } & {Skydata } & {DLT } & {ATL-L200 } & {8} & {40/80 } \\ \hline {- } & {Sony } & {DDS-4 } & {TSL-11000 } & {8} & {40GB } \\ - \hline {Linux } & {Sony } & {AIT-2 } & {LIB-304(SDX-500C) } & {?} & {200GB } \\ + \hline {Linux } & {Sony } & {AIT-2} & {LIB-304(SDX-500C) } & {?} & {200GB } \\ + \hline {Linux } & {Sony } & {AIT-3} & {LIB-D81) } & {?} & {200GB } \\ \hline {FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE } & {Sony } & {AIT-1 } & {TSL-SA300C } & {4} & {45/70GB }\\ \hline {- } & {Storagetek } & {DLT } & {Timberwolf DLT } & {6} & {40/70 } \\ \hline {- } & {Storagetek } & {?? } & {ACSLS } & {??} & {?? } \\ diff --git a/docs/manual/tapetesting.tex b/docs/manual/tapetesting.tex index 46ea89b1..4e0e67ae 100644 --- a/docs/manual/tapetesting.tex +++ b/docs/manual/tapetesting.tex @@ -879,8 +879,8 @@ Systems} Bacula version 1.33 (not 1.32x) is now working and ready for testing with the OnStream kernel osst driver version 0.9.14 or above.
