Hello.
I'm deploying a completely new installation and I'm both facing some new
problems to solve and using 15.x for the first time, so I'm not sure if
I'm doing things wrong or if Bacula is misbehaving.
First problem: clients are spread across three different VLANS.
While I only have one storage daemon, listening on all interfaces,
clients will need to contact it through different addresses.
I.e.
_ clients in VLAN 1 need to use sd.a.mydomain.it;
_ clients in VLAN 2 need to use sd.b.mydomain.it;
_ clients in VLAN 3 need to use sd.c.mydomain.it.
I found no way of doing this without declaring three "Storage" resources
in bacula-dir.conf.
Is this the best way to do this? Or are there better alternatives?
As a consequence of the above, I declared three "Device"s in bacula-sd
(since this is an HD-based storage, I just made three different
directories).
Again, is this the best way to do this?
It's more or less working, but the SD will often hang with one "Device"
or two working and the third stuck (with clients on the affected VLAN
all "waiting on Storage xxxx").
Is this a bug that I need to investigate or am I just using the SD in a
way that it's not supposed to work?
Should I let three different SD run?
(This would somewhat complicate management, but I can't think of any
stopper).
Aside, I've always done backups in sequence (one at a time); alas the
number of clients and amount of data in this installation require that I
start doing them in parallel.
If I understand correctly, doing multiple jobs in parallel on one SD
means that data from different clients will be interleaved in a single
volume.
Is this correct?
Since I'd like to have one job per volume, is there any way to have a
single SD/device open multiple volumes at once?
The above configuration (three Devices) allows me to do at least three
jobs in parallel (one per VLAN) without interleaving data.
However, is this supported or am I just asking for troubles?
bye & Thanks
av.
