Hello,
I've encountered some problems with my bare metal recovery on solaris 9
with bacula 1.38.11.
Here is a brief description of the recovery procedure I did (this might
also be a good description of how to do a bare metal recovery, if this
issue gets solved):
Boot the client from network in singleuser mode.
Mount a shared directory containing bacula to the client.
# mount 192.168.230.10:/export/local /usr/local
Partition the target hard drive.
# format
Created a new file system on the target partition.
# newfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
Mount the new target partition to /a
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
Create the necessary entries for the director and the storage server
into the hosts file
# echo "192.168.230.35 volvo" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "192.168.230.30 prinz" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "192.168.230.10 automatix3" >> /etc/hosts
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH var to where the bacula libs are:
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Start the bacula file daemon
# /usr/local/etc/bacula start
Starting the Bacula File daemon
#
Now go to the bconsole and start the restore procedure and select all
files to restore:
*restore
First you select one or more JobIds that contain files to be restored.
You will be presented several methods of specifying the JobIds. Then you
will be allowed to select which files from those JobIds are to be
restored.
To select the JobIds, you have the following choices:
1: List last 20 Jobs run
2: List Jobs where a given File is saved
3: Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select
4: Enter SQL list command
5: Select the most recent backup for a client
6: Select backup for a client before a specified time
7: Enter a list of files to restore
8: Enter a list of files to restore before a specified time
9: Find the JobIds of the most recent backup for a client
10: Find the JobIds for a backup for a client before a specified
time
11: Enter a list of directories to restore for found JobIds
12: Cancel
Select item: (1-12): 5
Defined Clients:
1: passat-fd
............
47: mondeo-fd
Select the Client (1-47): 47
Automatically selected FileSet: FullSolaris

You have selected the following JobId: 547

You are now entering file selection mode where you add (mark) and remove
(unmark) files to be restored. No files are initially added, unless you
used the "all" keyword on the command line.
Enter "done" to leave this mode.

Then go back to the client and:
# installboot /a/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
Until here everything looks fine. But when I try to boot from the newly
created disk I see the following inode messages:

When I do a fsck I get the following messages. The first one in Phase 1
doesn't seem very harmfull to me. But the second one with the missing
door files which get removed doesn't make me feel very confident
although the system boots up without error messages after the fsck is
finished.

So question is why are these doors not created correctly by the restore?
And will these doors get created automatically by the system if they
don't exist?
What are these partially allocated inodes?
I've tried it several times and it shows the same behaviour each time.

Wolfgang
