Questions for anyone who's currently using secondary catalogs:
I may be making this harder than it needs to be, but I need some
guidance
on just how the second catalog gets used.
I've succeeded in creating the second db and I've added a second
Catalog
entry in the director config file. I can then execute the "use" command
to
switch catalogs :
athos:sysdavis >bconsole
Connecting to Director athos.ruckus.com:9101
1000 OK: athos-dir Version: 1.39.22 (08 Septermber 2006)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*use
The defined Catalog resources are:
1: MyCatalog
2: ArchiveCatalog
Select Catalog resource (1-2): 2
Using Catalog name=ArchiveCatalog DB=bacula_arc
So far, so good. Now I'm stuck because I don't know what operations
can/will use the new catalog and what won't.
Queries and list commands do use it, but trying to create a Pool in the
new catalog, for instance, doesn't work.
Running a job prompts for the catalog to use, but doesn't use it - all
the
data goes into the default MyCatalog. I've tried creating a second
client
entry that specifies the ArchiveCatalog but that doesn't seem to make a
difference either :
athos:sysdavis >bconsole
Connecting to Director athos.ruckus.com:9101
1000 OK: athos-dir Version: 1.39.22 (08 Septermber 2006)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*run
The defined Catalog resources are:
1: MyCatalog
2: ArchiveCatalog
Select Catalog resource (1-2): 2
A job name must be specified.
The defined Job resources are:
1: TestBackup
...
Select Job resource (1-8): 1

JobName: TestBackup

The defined Client resources are:

What am I missing that makes the second catalog useful?
Do I need to stop the director and restart it using the second catalog
and
create pools there and populate them with volumes first?
Are there commands or command options that I'm missing that direct
operations to use the catalog other than "use"?
Thanks
