[Bacula-users] vchanger and "intervention needed"

[Dimitri M. <dm...@bm...>]

Hi everyone,

I've 9 sata disks in a vchanger. One dies, I replace the disk, do the
'update slot' and 'label barcodes'.

Then for good measure I delete & purge all volumes from the dead disk.

Now I'm getting

Bacula: Intervention needed for rendena.2013-10-30_20.05.00_04
30-Oct 20:05 rendena-sd JobId 551: Please mount Volume
"changer1_0006_0002" or label a new one for:
    Job:          rendena.2013-10-30_20.05.00_04
    Storage:      "Vchanger-drive" (/var/spool/bacula/changer1/0/drive0)
    Pool:         Default
    Media type:   BDRSizedFile

Yesterday I got one for another job but same volume.

I restarted bacula=dir again yesterday in the hope of clearing any
"stale" jobs -- but this doesn't look like it: I replaced the disk on
the 27th, the errors are from 29th and 30th.

changer1_0006 is the dead disk. All its volumes show up as "offline" in bat.

changer1_0011 is the new disk. There's also changer1_0007..0010 that are
due for recycling but show the expiration date of next year -- I've max
volumes, auto prune, and purge oldest volume set in the pool defn.

What gives? How do I a)  tell it "0006 is not there, start recycling the
next one" and b) make it do that automagically from now on?

TIA
Dima
