Hi I'm having problem with configuring bacula properly. We have one director, three storages and lot of clients. Clients are in different networks, so we need to use different IP to connect from client to storage and different IP to connect from director to storage. I know that there is a way of using hosts file entries which will be different on clients and director, and then using that hostname in bacula storage definition. But we decided that is not efficient, so there is bind with different views so it gives proper IP for client. It works from client when I'm pinging or digging for name, it works when I'm trying to run job manually, but automated jobs are often failing with errors like below :
Log records for job 11236 2008-12-11 02:27:28 cab1 JobId 11236: Start Backup JobId 11236, Job=client1.2008-12-11_01.35.23 2008-12-11 02:28:00 cab1 JobId 11236: Error: bsock.c:182 gethostbyname() for host "storage1.backup.com" failed: ERR=Authoritative answer for host not found. 2008-12-11 02:28:23 cab1 JobId 11236: Error: Bacula cab1 2.2.8 (26Jan08): 11-Dec-2008 02:28:23 Any ideas what can cause this ?? It looks like our bind is not responding at that time, but there is nothing restarting or so. Only issue could be that bind server is bacula storage and director, so it may be under load at night. Is that possible, I mean can it be bind not responding to clients because storage traffic is hammering server ?? If so, is there any parameter to give to bacula to make it wait longer for answer from DNS ?? -- Piotr Gbyliczek Second Line Support Forlinux LTD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
