Item n: Run bscan on a remote storage daemon from within bconsole.
Date: 07 October 2009
Origin: Graham Keeling <gra...@equiinet.com>
Status: Proposing
What: The ability to be able to run bscan on a remote storage daemon from
within bconsole in order to populate your catalog.
Why: Currently, it seems you have to:
a) log in to a console on the remote machine
b) figure out where the storage daemon config file is
c) figure out the storage device from the config file
d) figure out the catalog IP address
e) figure out the catalog port
f) open the port on the catalog firewall
g) configure the catalog database to accept connections from the
remote host
h) build a 'bscan' command from (b)-(e) above and run it
It would be much nicer to be able to type something like this into
bconsole:
*bscan storage=<storage> device=<device> volume=<volume>
or something like:
*bscan storage=<storage> all
It seems to me that the scan could also do a better job than the
external bscan program currently does. It would possibly be able to
deduce some extra details, such as the catalog StorageId for the
volumes.
