    • Click the “+” sign to add a new Autochanger

    • Fill in the fields:

      • Name: Give this Autochanger a sensible name to match our drive device created in the previous section. e.g.: QuantumLib1

      • Description: Leave blank, or put something descriptive here. It is not parsed. e.g.: Quantum Library 1 - LTO6

      • Changer Command: Cut and paste this into the field: /opt/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d

      • Changer Device: Put the by-id device name we identified in the very first section. e.g.: /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-SSTK_L700_XYZZY_A

      • Device: Scroll and locate the drive device(s) created in the previous section (ctrl-click to select more than one drive device)

      • At the top of this “Add Autochanger” dialog box, click the “+ Add” and you should see this new QuantumLib1 autochanger in your Autochanger listing.

  2. If auto-commit is not enabled, click on the “Bell” icon at the top right.

  3. Click on the “Commit” button.

  4. You will see a “Services restart/reload” dialog box showing the Storage component and a check box under “Restart”. Check this “Restart” box, then click “Restart/Reload” just below and confirm the operation.
