Re: [Bacula-users] Trouble getting jobs to run simultaneously

You can also set
Allow Mixed Priority = yes
on all your jobs.

From bacula docs:
####
Allow Mixed Priority = yesno
    This directive is only implemented in version 2.5 and later. When
    set to yes (default no), this job may run even if lower priority
    jobs are already running. This means a high priority job will not
    have to wait for other jobs to finish before starting. The
    scheduler will only mix priorities when all running jobs have this
    set to true.

    Note that only higher priority jobs will start early. Suppose the
    director will allow two concurrent jobs, and that two jobs with
    priority 10 are running, with two more in the queue. If a job with
    priority 5 is added to the queue, it will be run as soon as one of
    the running jobs finishes. However, new priority 10 jobs will not
    be run until the priority 5 job has finished.

Zitat von Troy Kocher <tkocher AT mtadistributors DOT com>:

All,

Recently I've made changes to my bacula-dir and bacula-sd to with  
the intent of running simultaneous jobs.  After the changes my  
testing seems to indicate I still don't have it right.  I launched  
my first job 'Image_Backup' manually with it's default priority,  
then launched the retail job modifying the priority to 1, with the  
hope to force a simultaneous backup.  The retail job sat waiting for  
the image job to complete. I've attached the relevant sections from  
my bacula-dir.conf.  If anyone has any helpful thoughts I'd really  
appreciate it.

Troy

Hello

Only Jobs with the *same* priority run concurrently if all resources  
used support concurrent use. The value of priority is only used to  
decide which Job to start first if more than one is scheduled at the  
same time.

Regards

Andreas
