Re: [Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
I wouldn't take it so hard. At least you know that it is not a Bacula bug, which might have been even more painful :-) Best regards, Kern On 06/28/2014 07:38 PM, altiris wrote: I have discovered the problem and it had to do with my /etc/hosts file.

I went into the bconsole tool (/usr/sbin/bconsole) and typed status and selected Storage, the bconsole would hang at Connecting to Storage daemon Game Servers at mycomputer.mydomain.com:9103 where mycomputer and mydomain were replaced with their respective names. I have checked if the port 9103 is open and it is, my fqdn returns the name that the director is trying to connect to (listed above). I dont understand why this happening, it used to work fine. Make sure you do not have 127.0.0.1 or localhost in any of your bacula configuration files.

I just made a new daemon for each storage device, if I added a new storage device I would add a new storage daemon and make them match such as the Media type name. I have the two storage daemons on the same IP address and same port. This is all being done on one machine. What confuses me though is even with just having one backup job enabled and trying to run it I get that same error message as when having two backup jobs enabled with only one job going. That is because the second daemon fails to run.

I have actually made everything separate per job, so separate volume pool, storage device and daemon (as you can see in the OP)because to me this makes it easier for things to be organized and track down future errors (while it seems this is causing problems?) but I am still getting problems. I have removed the entire second job from my config files and now even with the one backup job I am getting a status from the director that is waiting on the Storage Daemon Game_Servers why is it doing this, this is the only backup job that is currently enabled and set to run. This sounds complicated. How did you create a new daemon for each SD? You do you have each on a different port? Or using a VM? You can not have more than 1 storage daemon listening at the same ipaddress and port.

One to backup a folder in a user's home folder and another to backup an entire partition. Each time I try to run one of the two backup jobs (via webmin) it says it has started but when I go to the director status it outputs BackupGame_Servers 114 Incremental is waiting on Storage Game_Servers. Where BackupGame_Servers is the job name, 114 I believe is the job number, Incremental is the type of backup, and Storage Game_Servers is the Storage Daemon it is using. When i try to run the other backup job I also get a is waiting on Storage daemon _. The backups are set to be stored on on separate partition and in separate folders in that partition. I don't see why this is doing this. I use a different storage device, storage daemon, volume pool, and backup schedule to keep everything organized. I posted my config files to better show/explain and eliminate the possibilities of errors. Remember that a disk device acts just like a tape drive meaning that for a single device you can not load 2 volumes at the same time. If you want more than 1 job to run you need more than 1 storage device. If you plan on adding additional clients and want them to run more simultaneous jobs I recommend that you search the archives for bacula vchanger. This will make disk storage work like a virtual tape autochanger with multiple drives so you can have concurrency.

Re: [Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
Thank you John. So just to be sure, I can only perform one job on each storage device. In this case, I can only perform one backup on the partition in my HDD? Even if the jobs are to set to be performed at different times, I still can't perform more than one job? No you can run multiple jobs to the same device at the same time. The jobs however have to go to the same volume so the same pool. A storage device can only access 1 volume at a time. Also this has nothing to do with your filesystem or partition. You can and are expected to have more than 1 volume on your filesystem.
