Aaron,

I would LOVE to share the iscsi volume. Whats the best way to do that? :)

In OF 2.3, target creation and management is decoupled from the LUN mapping. So you can map any iSCSI LV (as defined in /opt/openfiler/etc/volumes.xml) to an iSCSI target as a LUN .

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;}

    Seems that you could just share out a new iscsi lun, but I may not
    completely understand what you are trying to do.  Any chance you
    would share your  script?

        Gents,
          Can you please comment on the best way to accomplish the
        following?

          We currently have a 1TB volume exported via iscsi on
        Openfiler (v2.2).  The file system is vmfs (esx servers).
          I wrote a perl script to capture a snapshot of this logical
        volume, and 'dd' it to a secondary storage device on openfiler.

          What is the best way to export/share this new backup
        volume?  In case I want to restore an old VM, etc.

        Thanks,

        Vasiliy Boulytchev
