Writing to multiple Tape drives simultaneously

[Hendrik Peyerl]

Hello everyone,

I need some help gettig my Bareos Setup to write to multiple tape drives at the same time.

I have a Tape Library with an autochanger and 2 drives, furthermore I have 2 Pools and each pool has a couple of the tapes within this library.
At the moment the tape library is only using drive 1 and is ignoring the second one, bconsole shows me „Job XXX is waiting on max Job jobs“.
If I try to use the second drive manually via bconsole it works.

Storage Conf:

Storage {
Name = "prod-archiver-101"
Address = „$FQDN"
Device = "prod-archiver-101"
Media Type = "LTO-6"
Password = "DzhJdSf0zHbV3q7"
Auto Changer = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}


Pool 1:

Pool {
Name = "Archive"
Auto Prune = true
Label Format = "Archive-"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = true
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Maximum Block Size = 1048576
Volume Retention = 365 days
storage = "prod-archiver-101“

}

Pool 2:

Pool {
Name = "Archive_3m"
Auto Prune = true
Label Format = "Archive-3m-"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = true
Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
Maximum Block Size = 1048576
Volume Retention = 90 days
storage = "prod-archiver-101“
}

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Hendrik
