Hi all,
I'm using AMANDA 2.4.5
I've got a configuration question. I wasn't able to find a similar
question with Google. I thought I'd try it on the list.
I've got a disklist with a few DLE's in it. At the start of an amdump,
AMANDA asks the clients for an estimate. When the server has received
all the estimates, the planner starts doing it's work.
What I'm interested in, is there any way to specify the exact order in
the disklist for the DLE's to be backed up? For example: I have hosts
mars venus and jupiter. In alphabetical order that would be:
jupiter
mars
venus
Now, what if I wasn't able to use a holding disk for parallel dumping
(which means all DLE's are dumped sequentially) and I wanted host
venus to be backed up first. Is there any way I can achieve this?
Using a holding disk is an option offcourse, but what if I should be
able to manage without a holding disk if I could only change the order
the hosts are backed up. What can I do to achieve that?
There is "dumporder", which can order dumps by of size, time, or
bandwith, but not alfabetically.
And there is the dumptype option "starttime" where you can
delay the starttime of some DLE's/hosts.
It would help if you specified why you would like a specific order.
Are you trying to accomplish something like:
