Hi,
Does bacula storage has a limit to accept jobs at one time?
I have configured 7 servers to backup on a FreeNAS. Each server runs
bacula-dir pointing to its own bacula database locally. Each server has 2
storage configured, local and FreeNAS which is geographically remote. Jobs
were configured to run at the same time on all servers.
Out of these 7 servers, only 2 backup jobs were successful on the first
night of running according to schedule. When I checked the FreeNAS storage
status, it says:
Jobs waiting to reserve a drive:
3610 JobId=759 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=821 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=825 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=799 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=768 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=816 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=802 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=772 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=1490 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=270 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=828 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
3610 JobId=832 Volume max jobs exceeded on drive "FreeNAS" (/mnt/files).
For the second run, I scheduled the job to run 15 minutes apart among the
servers. Only 3 jobs were successful while the rest were still in Running
mode.
Relevant configurations below.
job:
Job {
Name = "TestBackup"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Pool = client2
FileSet = "Test Set"
Storage = FreeNAS
Schedule = "clientBackup"
Priority = 11
Enabled = no
}
pool:
Pool {
Name = client2
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Recycle Oldest Volume = Yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 5 days
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Maximum Volumes = 7
Label Format = "${Client:s/-fd//t}-${Level}-${NumVols:p/3/0/r}"
}
bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = FreeNAS
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /mnt/files
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}
Have I misconfigured the pool? Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
