r720

This host has been retired. The services were distributed amongst r730-01 and r730-03. This host was often referred to as r720 or r720-01 (after r720-02 appeared on the scene) This replaces a previous post. I’ve been given a Dell PowerEdge 720. It contains: 6 x 400GB SAS SSDs – data01 zpool 2 x 100GB SAS […]

Migrating a Dell TL4000 to a new FreeBSD server and attaching it to a jail

I recently migrated a bunch of jails from one server to another. Today I attached the Dell TL4000 tape library. A jail on this server copied Bacula backups from disk to tape. In this post: FreeBSD 12.0 Bacula 9.4.3 Dell R720 Investigation As anticipated, I needed to update the server configuration to cope with changed

Oct 4 09:01:24 slocum kernel: pid 1409 (check_bacula), uid 181: exited on signal 11

I’ve been getting these messages in /var/log/messages on slocum for as long as I can remember. Today I found out why those errors are occurring. They are logged on the FreeBSD jail host for a Nagios instance I run. Nagios runs in a jail on that host. I’ve just been ignoring the messages, but today

How allow.mount.zfs affects mountpoints for ZFS

I noticed this the other day, and thought it was interesting. When the jailed property is set on a ZFS fileset, it affects the mountpoint within the jail. If your jail uses allow.mount.zfs (known as allow_mount_zfs when using iocage), the mountpoints become relative to the jail. For example, in my poudriere jail, this is what

Migrating all your iocage jails to a new host

In this post, I’m not exporting an iocage jail to another host. I am moving the entire iocage instance to another host. This is accomplished by doing a zfs export on the zpool, moving the drives to a new system, and doing a zfs import. The drive migration is covered in a previous post. In

Migrating drives and the zpool from one host to another.

Today is the day. Today I move a zpool from an R710 into an R720. The goal: all services on that zpool start running on the new host. Fortunately, that zpool is dedicated to jails, more or less. I have done some planning about this, including moving a poudriere on the R710 into a jail.
