Hi all,
i have been very successful in messing up my configuration today and
would like to share it with you, either for a laugh or maybe a hint.
:)
i still assume that a storage daemon can have multiple devices, but
i'm not even sure about that by now, this is why i'm looking for help
- i'll look through the src/examples directory after i send this
email, i already checked my little email archive but with no success.
my current state is that bacula's looking for a volume file-03 in a
directory storage/01 and so on,
so there's something dead wrong about my configuration, and i have to admit
I've been fiddling with it for too long. now it's in a state that
gives no errors, but
is not right either. :)
what i want to end up with is a number devices (file) to assign to the same pool
i.e.:
/bacula/storage/00 (10GB)
/bacula/storage/01 (50GB)
/bacula/storage/02 (10GB)
/bacula/storage/03 (...)
after labeling they'd look like this:
/bacula/storage/00/hostname-file-00
/bacula/storage/01/hostname-file-01
/bacula/storage/02/hostname-file-02
/bacula/storage/03/hostname-file-03
and be recycled forever.
at last i want to use one storage daemon per every two devices, so we
end up with the
following:
sd00:
/bacula/storage/00/hostname-file-00
/bacula/storage/01/hostname-file-01
sd01:
/bacula/storage/02/hostname-file-02
/bacula/storage/03/hostname-file-03
first, the sd config, still lacking a size declaration, but that's
nothing i worry about right now.
[passwords grepped out]
Storage { # definition of myself
Name = bc00-sd00
SDAddress = bc00-sd00
SDPort = 9103 # Director's port
WorkingDirectory = "/mnt/new/bacula/apps/bacula/var/bacula/working"
Pid Directory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
Device {
Name = FileStorage00
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/new/bacula/storage/00
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Device {
Name = FileStorage01
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/new/bacula/storage/01
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
side question: Label media = yes or no? I want the volume to keep it's
name, but to be recycled - does that include 're-labeling' now?
and here is the storage part of bacula-dir.conf
[ passwords grepped out, and the host name is in /etc/hosts, no issues there. ]
Storage {
Name = FileStorage00
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = bc00-sd00 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Device = FileStorage00
Media Type = File
}
Storage {
Name = FileStorage01
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = bc00-sd00 # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Device = FileStorage01
Media Type = File
}
I *think* that my bacula-dir.conf is what's in error, but i'm not sure. :)
My default Job looks like this:
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = bc00-dir-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = FileStorage00
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
It was giving me angry errors when i uncommented the Storage, this is
where another problem of understanding comes in.

Device "FileStorage01" (/mnt/new/bacula/storage/01) is not open.
Device "FileStorage02" (/mnt/new/bacula/storage/02) is not open.

As the sd spills out status for all devices i assume i probably only
need one reference in bacula-dir.conf, or does it just not restrict
it's reply to the queried device?
(i wish i knew that!)
Can I achieve a state where bacula will pick an available device, as
long as it's in the right pool?
(I guess yes *g*)
Well, now.... any hints? :)
Florian
p.s.:
these are the last stitches for the bacula-related part of the bacula
cluster howto; there's a few gaps that will be filled once i build the
full setup once, tear it down and rebuilt it successfully.
i plan to complete it by end of this month - if you want to check it
out, have a look at
