Aaron,
I would LOVE to share the iscsi volume. Whats the best way to do that? :)
Here is my script (dirty but works):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Getopt::Long;
use Cwd;
# Define variables
# retention period
$retention = 40;
# two expected days
$d1 = "Mon";
$d2 = "Thu";
# backuplog file name
$log = "mnt/backuplog.txt";
# Change to /root/scripts/backup
$dir = "/root/scripts/backup/";
chdir $dir;
# Pull CLI options
GetOptions ('day=s' => \$day);
# Perform Time operations
my $now = localtime time;
my ($bsec,$bmin,$bhour,$bmday,$bmon,$byear,$bwday,$byday,$bisdst) =
localtime time;
$c="/bin/date \+%a";
$vtime=qx($c);chomp $vtime;
#Define where to write snapshot to
if ($vtime eq $d2){$destination="/dev/lacievg/lacie2";}
elsif ($vtime eq $d1){$destination="/dev/lacievg/lacie1";}
else {print "wrong day\n";exit;}
# Mount up Lacie
mountup();
# Perform Sanity Checks
checksanity();
# If things are OK, update the maintenance partition
recordtimes();
# Perform the copy
mirror();
# Email Results
emailresults();
# Umount
unmount();
sub mirror{
system ("/usr/sbin/lvcreate -L200G -s -n esxbackup
/dev/velirvg1/esxstore1 >> $log");
system ("time /bin/dd bs=8M if=/dev/velirvg1/esxstore1
of=$destination >> $log");
backuplog("backups complete",$log,">>");
}
sub mountup{
system ("/sbin/vgscan");
system ("/sbin/vgchange -a y lacievg");
system ("/bin/mount /dev/sdd1 $dir/mnt");
}
sub checksanity{
# hack to see if the lacie mounted properly by checking a file
$c="/bin/cat $dir/mnt/lastbackup.txt";
$lastbackup=qx($c);chomp $lastbackup;
$lastbackuplength= length($lastbackup);
if ($lastbackuplength < 5){
emailbad("Backups Aborted, lastbackuplength is
$lastbackuplength");
exit;
}
# check to see if the Lacie has ben rotated
if ($vtime eq $d1){
print "vtime is $vtime\n";
print "lastbackup is $lastbackup\n";
$name = "$dir/mnt/lastbackup.txt";
$modded = -M $name;
$m=int($modded);
backuplog($now,$log,">");
backuplog("backup last ran $m days ago",$log,">>");
if ($m > $retention){
emailbad("Hello, my name is Lacie, you have not
rotated me in $m days ");
}
}
if ($vtime eq $d2){
print "vtime is $vtime\n";
print "lastbackup is $lastbackup\n";
$name = "$dir/mnt/lastbackup.txt";
$modded = -M $name;
$m=int($modded);
backuplog($now,$log,">");
backuplog("backup last ran $m days ago",$log,">>");
if ($m > $retention){
emailbad("Hello, my name is Lacie, you have not
rotated me in $m days ");
}
}
}
sub backuplog{
$string = shift;
$file = shift;
$operation = shift;
system ("/bin/echo $string $operation $file");
print ("/bin/echo $string $operation $file\n");
}
sub recordtimes{
system ("/bin/echo $now >> mnt/backuplogtime.txt");
backuplog("writing to $destination",$log,">>");
system ("/bin/echo $now > mnt/lastbackup.txt");
}
sub emailbad{
# Email error
$message =shift;
print $message,"\n";
system ("/bin/echo $message > /tmp/message");
system ("/bin/mail -s lvmbackups [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp/message");
system ("/bin/mail -s lvmbackups [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp/message");
}
sub emailresults{
# Email out
system ("/bin/mail -s lvmbackups [EMAIL PROTECTED] < mnt/backuplog.txt");
system ("/bin/mail -s lvmbackups [EMAIL PROTECTED] < mnt/backuplog.txt");
}
sub unmount
{
# Unmount
system ("/usr/sbin/lvremove -f /dev/velirvg1/esxbackup >> $log");
system ("/sbin/vgchange -a n lacievg");
system ("/bin/umount /dev/sdd1");
}
