[bareos-users] NDMP Setup

[Brian]

Hello,

I am very new to BareOS and very eager to learn more!

I was hoping this was the right place to ask for help on this topic...

I am trying to setup native NDMP backup for a NetApp filer and HP LTO-6 Tape Library. The tape library is an autochanger with 4 tape drives. So far I've been following the documentation on the BareoS website but I'm stuck at the part to add the Tape and Robot agent. When I run "status storage" I'm able to see information about the NetApp and tape library. Below is a sample output:

Tape Agent netapp NDMPv4

set ALIAS 0=mc1

I assume that in the storage configuration I need to use the below to define the tape device and changer device:
Storage {
Name = netapp
...
Autochanger = yes
MediaType = NDMP-Tape

Device = nrst3l # use "status storage" to determine the tape device
NDMP Changer Device = mcl # use "status storage" to determine the changer device
}

But when I try to detect the tapes the system does not return any results:

*status storage=netapp slots
No slots in changer to scan.

Am I missing something or is this type of setup/hardware not supported? I have also tried to use the alias of the tape device (st3) but the result is the same.

Thanks!
Brian

Also want to add that the tape library and NetApp are connected through a fibre channel switch.
