Hi,
I am extremely new to Bacula and have run into a problem that I don’t seem to be able fix.
I have attached my bacula-dir.conf, bacula–fd.conf and my
bacula-sd.conf files in the hope that someone out there can take a quick look and ensure that they all look OK. Also attached are my
config.out and my config.log from the install process.
The error message I am seeing is when I run the status storage command from the
bconsole prompt (the *). I am following the ‘Running a Job’ tutorial from the following
http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Brief_Tutorial.html
show filesets returns the expected output
status dir returns expected output
status client returns expected output
status storage returns the following error
Automatically selected Storage: File
Connecting to Storage daemon File at micd3.gbr.hp.com-sd:9103
Failed to connect to Storage daemon File.
I tried to configure my bacula-dir.conf in the Storage entry with the following:
# Definition of file storage device
Storage {
Name = LTO-6
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = micd3.gbr.hp.com-sd # N.B. Use a fully qualified name
here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "LZmffqI8xfbnpj5T88tB+r+tPTQI/9Z2FFPrLqrNxOl0"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = LTO-6
To correspond with the device entry in my baculu-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = LTO-6
Media Type = LTO-6
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Maximum File Size = 5GB
Changer Command = "/opt/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
AutoChanger = yes
}
But if I don’t use File in the bacula-dir.conf file next to
Name and Media Type the Director daemons will not start.
It looks as though there may be two different issues here. It would be good to resolve the
status storage issue and then move onto the Director daemon issue.
I have followed the Installing Bacula guide from
http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Installing_Bacula.html
Everything compiled and installed correctly as far as I could see.
bconsole starts and bacula start and stop works OK with the daemons (apart from when I change the name and the media type to correspond to my bacula-sd.conf file. So I am relatively confident that bacula is installed
correctly (although I would be more than happy if someone could prove me wrong and thus fix my issue).
I am running RedHat 5 UP6 X86_64 and bacula-5.2.13, I have an LTO-6 and an MSL6480 library zoned into the server. If I run the more /proc/scsi/scsi the operating system returns expected tape drive and robotics output.
Hope someone out there in Bacula land has the time to help me out here as it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
