Re: [Bacula-users] Volume rotate?
Hi John, Here is volume record from bconsole for bss. Pool: name=bss PoolType=Backup use_cat=1 use_once=0 cat_files=1 max_vols=26 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=6 months VolUse=0 secs recycle=1 LabelFormat=bss- CleaningPrefix=*None* LabelType=0 RecyleOldest=0 PurgeOldest=0 ActionOnPurge=0 MaxVolJobs=26 MaxVolFiles=0 MaxVolBytes=0 MigTime=0 secs MigHiBytes=0 MigLoBytes=0 JobRetention=0 secs FileRetention=0 secs Looks like its missing the 7days thing. I guess I have to do an update. And change the Volume Use Duration? Is that right?

Thanks for your replay. That's exactly what I was thinking. Clustering director is a piece of cake but to cluster tape library ... well it's not so easy. The good news is the tape library will be FC attached to nodes. So sharing will be quite easy - just a simple zoning on the FC switch. I remember that one time I was looking for disabling SCSI "bad" commands on the bus in Linux (that was NetWorker but it doesn't matter) and there is a solution for that (of course I can't remember it). There is also a possibility that FC switch will have such functionality (some high end directors do have).

The SD is the tricky part. You must have a tape drive on a shared SCSI bus, such as with Trivoli Storage Manager, or some other means of sharing the tape library that can also provide for a SCSI bus reset on failover. I have SD running as a cluster service on a two node Linux corosync/pacemaker cluster using DBRD disk devices for shared File storage, which is an alternative that works in a disk-disk-tape setup, where the tape drive does not have to be clustered in a failover compatible way. In other words, the backup jobs write to shared disk with failover, then copy jobs copy the jobs to tape without failover, because the tape drive is only attached to one node. If the node the tape drive is attached to fails, then the tape drive can be manually moved to the other node and the copy jobs restarted. The copy to tape is not so critical, though, since the backup to disk is the "real" backup. The only way to do tape failover is with a shared SCSI bus, AFAIK. In theory, it should work with a shared SCSI bus system. -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
