Subject: [Bacula-users] Bacula FD on openfiler dist
Hello people!
I need a little help. I Have a open filer NAS server (http://www.openfiler.com/) and I wanna
setup a bacula fd on it.
Someone have this scenario?
I Didnt found any documentation about...
Thank you guys!
Openfiler 2.3 (the current one) actually includes a really old
Bacula FD, 2.36 or so if I remember correctly. Too old for encryption,
which was a requirement for us. So this is what I did about a year ago to
update it (not positive this is a complete list, but it should be enough to get
you really close). Note that you REALLY don’t want to do this on
the production machine, as OpenFiler is an appliance and meant to be run with
exactly the software packages that it comes with, no more, no less.
1. Install
a second OpenFiler with the same architecture (x86_64 in my case; I used a VM
to make it easy)
2. Run “conary
updateall” , assuming you’ve done that on your production box
3. Install
the necessary dev files:
conary update gcc
conary update gcc-c++
conary update
glibc:devel
conary update
zlib:devel
conary update
openssl:devel
4. Tell
system where the Kerberos libs are:
export CPPFLAGS=”
–I/usr/kerberos/include”
5. Build
static client of bacula:
./configure –enable-static-client-only
–enable-client-only –with-openssl –disable-libtool
make ; make install
6. Copy
the resulting binary onto your production machine. I created a new folder
for it to keep it separate from the old one. Also need to create
/var/bacula and /var/bacula/working
7. Start
it in /etc/rc.local with something like the following:
/etc/bacula/bacula-fd –v
–c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf (make sure to substitute your install dir
from 6)
Been running strong for a
year with absolutely no issues. Good luck.
