I'm trying to do the FreeBSD Bare Metal Recover as described in the
Bacula manual. I'm having problems with step 3, starting an emergency
console. I follow the steps and get a message stating that an
"Emergency Holographic console" has been started on vt4. OK, I use
alt-F4 and get a black screen with a # prompt. However no commands
work. Even a simple "ls" returns "ls: not found".
I am using the FreeBSD 6.0 install CD with which I installed this
system. Any ideas on what I'm missing?
I think you're using the install CD. Try using the Live CD.
Something like FreeSBIE would work. Or the disc2.
Yes, I'm using disk 1. Maybe the docs should be updated as step 1 says
"Boot with the FreeBSD installation disk" which led me to believe that
disk 1 was all I needed.
I tried FreeSBIE2 and included the bacula client as a package. It
almost worked but when I attempted to start bacula-fd, I received an
error that was something along the lines of "libexec/ld-elf.so:
libz.so.2 not found". So I guess I need to build a statically linked
bacula-fd?
I would guess that. I don't know how to do that.
My current situation is the device that needs to be restored is (was)
FreeBSD 6.0 running on a Pentium III 550 mhz box. My bacula director,
catalogs, storage, etc. is on another box running FreeBSD 6.0 on a
Pentium III 600 box. Thus binaries should be transportable.
I'm still on bacula 1.36.3 as one of the clients in my network is Gentoo
and there is no updated ebuild in the regular portage tree and as such,
I've been hesitant to upgrade. So what is the best (easiest) way to get
a version of bacula-fd running on the failed box?
I would install the OS, and build Bacula from ports. That's what I'd
do.
I did this and was able to restore my system. Thanks for your help.
However, I would like to learn how to build a statically linked version
of Bacula from within the ports system and then have that package
available to include on a FreeSBIE CD for future incidents. Does anyone
know if this is possible? And if so, how?
Thanks,
Drew
