Greetings to all,
I have the simple Admin job "truncate-pools-all” (see further down) and I would
like to be able to run it concurrently while some backup job “backup1" (see
further down) is running. Lets say backup jobs have Priority = 20.
The Runscript Console command has Priority = 10 and uses drive number 9, which
is very likely not in use when the Admin job is started. The backup jobs
usually use drive number 0. Both jobs have set AllowMixedPriority = yes.
While I can successfully run this command in bconsole concurrently when a
backup job is already running, when starting the Admin job the Bacula queuing
algorithm puts this Admin job in the queue and it is waiting until the
currently running backup job has finished. My understanding was that this is
normal behaviour when AllowMixedPriority = no (default). However, I have
explicitly enabled AllowMixedPriority and still it does not work. The
MaximumConcurrentJobs are 5 or 20 in different components, except for the SD
file autochanger drives, there it is set to 1.
My first guess would be, that somehow the SD does not automagically make use of
the available unoccupied drives of the autochanger (although the default
behaviour should be AutoSelect = yes). So it tells the director that the drive
is busy and then the director makes the Admin job wait.
But I could also be wrong, as I am not an expert on Bacula topics.
What would I need to change to get this to work as expected and described at
the top of this mail?
Thanks for considering my question and have a good time,
J/C
Job {
Name = "truncate-pools-all"
Type = "Admin"
JobDefs = "default1"
Enabled = no
Runscript {
RunsOnClient = no
RunsWhen = "Before"
Console = "truncate volume allpools storage=unraid-tier1-storage drive=9"
}
Priority = 10
AllowDuplicateJobs = no
AllowMixedPriority = yes
}
JobDefs {
Name = "default1"
Type = "Backup"
Level = "Full"
Messages = "Standard"
Pool = "default1"
FullBackupPool = "default1"
IncrementalBackupPool = "default1"
Client = “machine1"
Fileset = "EmptyFileset"
MaxFullInterval = 2678400
SpoolAttributes = yes
Priority = 20
AllowIncompleteJobs = no
Accurate = yes
AllowDuplicateJobs = no
}
This is the backup job that is already running:
Job {
Name = “backup1"
Pool = “pool1"
FullBackupPool = “pool1"
IncrementalBackupPool = “pool1"
Fileset = “fs1"
Schedule = “schd1"
JobDefs = “default2"
Enabled = yes
AllowIncompleteJobs = no
AllowDuplicateJobs = no
AllowMixedPriority = yes
}
JobDefs {
Name = “default2"
Type = "Backup"
Level = "Full"
Messages = "Standard"
Pool = "default1"
Client = “machine1"
Fileset = "EmptyFileset"
Schedule = “sched2"
Priority = 20
Accurate = yes
}
