Re: [Bacula-users] Scratch Pool
Hi Dan,
I believe that solved my problem, and explains why the new volume (which only
got created after making changes and running "reload") made it into the
"bryanslack-scratch" pool. But the other old volumes still around from before
the changes didn't seem to want to go into the scratch pool like I wanted.
Also I put some lines to kick off a "remove scratch pools" admin-job after my
job. After a migration the source volumes go to scratch, then after that, they
get deleted from the catalog and from the disk. I'm not sure if after or
before is right, in fact I am not sure if I'm using the scratch pools correctly
in the first place. But now when I run "list volume" I don't see anything in
the virtual pool anymore, which was what I was hoping for. They go to scratch,
and then the stuff below removes them.
Command = "sh -c \"/bin/echo run job=bryanslack-remove yes | bconsole -n\""
Then that job (bryanslack-remove) basically does nothing at all except it runs
this at the end,
Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/removeScratchPools.sh %c"
And that command is converted from a perl script I found somewhere.
Thanks Dan and Phil for your time.

After making these changes, did you run update in bconsole? You need
to update the volume definitions from the pool definition.
That is, you need to tell the existing volumes that their attributes
have changes.

The short answer is, to my knowledge there is no built-in capability to cause a volume to be moved into a specified pool upon completion of a job. Now, you can leave volumes in the scratch pool and have them moved from there into a specified new folder BEFORE running a job. And you can have volumes moved into a specified scratch pool when recycled. But if you want to trigger a pool change on job *completion*, I believe you're going to have to script it yourself as a RunAfterJob event. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Bacula-users] scratch pool usage (Cannot find any appendable volumes)
Don't configure your jobs to USE the scratch pool. That's the root of the issue. Instead, set your job's pool to be something else OTHER than "Scratch", let's say it's "Client1_Pool" just for example. Of course, you'll have to define the pool to the director and reload the config before you run the job. It's a good idea to test the config before you actually issue the "reload" command. Speak up if you need help with that. When your job "Client1" runs, if there are valid volumes in "Client1_Pool" then bacula will use a volume in the "Client1_Pool". If there is NOT a valid volume in the "Client1_Pool" THEN bacula will re-assign an appropriate volume from the "Scratch" pool into "Client1_Pool" and use that one. So your jobs should never be explicitly told to use the Scratch pool. Bacula does it automagically. I hope that helps it make sense. --Tim - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell. From the desktop to the data center, Linux is going mainstream.

Re: [Bacula-users] scratch pool usage (Cannot find any appendable volumes)
You need to have a different pool to do your backup in. The Scratch pool is a special pool that the other pools go to when they are out of media. I have 3 pools a Scratch, Weekly and Daily pool. All new tapes are put into the Scratch pool then backups are done in the Weekly and Daily pool. As tapes are needed they are pulled from the Scratch pool. I hope that helps. -Jason On Thu, 2007-11-29 at 10:50 -0500, Michael Galloway wrote: > good day all, i'm working thru getting backups working on my new > library, i labled 10 tapes in the library from inside bconsole > using barcodes, i put them all into the scratch pool: > > Pool: Scratch > +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ > | mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes | volfiles | > volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype | lastwritten | > +-++---+-+--+--+--+-+--+---+---+-+ > | 1 | 002048L4 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | > 31,536,000 | 1 |2 | 1 | LTO4 | | > | 2 | 002047L4 | Append| 1 | 64,512 |0 | > 31,536,000 | 1 |3 | 1 | LTO4 > > etc > > when i try and run a backup using the scratch pool via the command line: > > Run Backup job > JobName: Client1 > Level:Full > Client: molbio-fd > FileSet: Full Set > Pool: Scratch (From Job resource) > Storage: LTO4 (From Job resource) > When: 2007-11-29 10:16:59 > Priority: 10 > OK to run?

Yes, you are right for version 1.38.x. However, for version 1.39.x, this can
be effectively done by using Migration jobs to copy old disk Volumes to tape
when the Pool becomes too full. The disk Volume can then be recycled and
re-used by normal jobs.

I do not think that Bacula has this capability to switch media, but

I don't believe the Scratch Pool was implemented in 1.36. There were a few
minor bugs in the first releases of 1.38, but nothing that I remember being a
total show stopper.

There *should* be no mention of the Scratch Pool in the 1.36 document, so this
issue should not come up. I suppose someone could have created a Scratch
pool in 1.36, but other than the fact that things would work a bit
differently in 1.38.x, I don't see any major problem with having a pool with
the name Scratch prior to 1.38, and I don't understand why it would hinder an
upgrade.

I've modified the document in that area simplifying the text letting the user
know that the process is not so simple. The new document should be up
tomorrow.

RE: [Bacula-users] Scratch Pool Question
Hi Kern,
I did not intend for my emails to be read as complaints. Bacula works _Very_
well for me, and I am very grateful for the work that you do. My intent was to
essentially submit bug reports against the docs. Is it the case that the
Scratch Pool just doesn't work in 1.36? If that is the case, simply modifing
the docs as such would clear things up a bit:
ORIGINAL:
The Scratch Pool
In general, you can give your Pools any name you wish, but there is one
important restriction: the Pool named Scratch, if it exists behaves
like a scratch pool of Volumes in that when Bacula needs a new Volume for
writing and it cannot find one, it will look in the Scratch pool, and if
it finds an available Volume, it will move it out of the Scratch pool into
the Pool currently being used by the job.
MODIFIED:
The Scratch Pool
In general, you can give your Pools any name you wish, but there is one
important restriction: the Pool named Scratch, if it exists behaves
like a scratch pool of Volumes in that when Bacula needs a new Volume for
writing and it cannot find one, it will look in the Scratch pool, and if
it finds an available Volume, it will move it out of the Scratch pool into
the Pool currently being used by the job. Note that the Scratch pool does
not work properly for versions prior to {INSERT VERSION IN WHICH IT IS KNOW TO
WORK HERE}, but it is
still recommended that you not use the Scratch pool in prior versions for
anything else as it will hinder your upgrade path.
Regaurding my previous email, on the migration from SQLite to MySQL, I
don't have enough knowledge of the intricacies of SQLite or MySQL to propose a
proper migration solution. But I will attempt to put together a documentation
change that will point the reader in the right direction. I will send this in a
seperate email.
Cheers,
Silas

The ScratchPoolId is not used, so don't worry about it (at least not yet). I
don't have time to document all the technical details, so the docs are going
to remain very thin in that regard for a long time.
However, in the case where someone has specific knowledge of the deficiencies
of the manual, it would be more useful to complain and at the same time send
me suggested new text rather than throw the work back on me as is the case
95% of the time.

No, unfortunately, I didn't add a field to keep track of the fact that they
come from the scratch pool.
