Transferring a jail from one host to another

I’ve started merging these two hosts: r710-01 slocum into this one host: r740-01 The goal is to then retire those first two hosts. This post covers the initial bulk copy of all the data from two hosts into the one. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 Each jail runs on its own zfs filesystem Not covered by this post Creating jails Creating snapshost Detailed usage of syncoid hosts not using zfs The overall process […]

Ansible playbook for FreeBSD jail.conf.d

While I was moving jails from one host to another, I decided to start using /etc/jail.conf.d/. The idea is each jail gets its own configuration file in that directory, instead of using /etc/jail.conf. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 But first, you should know Let’s get some things out in the open before you jump into the change. The main advantage of /etc/jail.conf.d/ is each jail gets its own configuration file. Easy to find.

After moving the poudriere jail (pkg01) to the new host (r730-01), I noticed this message from Nagios: That “email found in . /var/mail/dan” message is significant. In general mail on my hosts/jails is not delivered locally. It all goes off-host. That’s why I have this Nagios check. When mail like that is found, it’s either a configuration error or something local has gone wrong. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 poudriere-3.3.7_1 NOTE: This is

Moving one jail from host to host

This is a quick post about the steps I’m using to move my jails from one host to another. This is bing done as I merge two hosts into one. I have not attempted to automate this, apart from the initial syncoid copying of data. This post is base roughly upon my Mastodon post from yesterday. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 sanoid-2.1.0 copying from slocum copying to r730-01 use of /etc/jail.conf.d/ Right, now,

NOTE: If you’re looking for a jail configuration for poudriere, please refer to Configuration for running poudriere in a jail on FreeBSD 14. I recently moved the pkg01 jail from one host to another. I’m having trouble getting it to build packages. [pkg01 dan ~] % sudo poudriere testport -j 131amd64 -p dvl -z primary -i devel/py-pip [00:00:00] Error: Please load the linux module on the host using “kldload linux” On the host:

R730-01

This is the host I’ve been talking about. Adding this entry to /boot/loader.conf will turn off MFI and enable MRSAS instead. hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=”1″ Then you’ll see expected device names for drives, such as da0 instead of mfisyspd0. This will be done later. The HBA installed in this host is supported by the FreeBSD mrsas driver. The host has the Invader/Fury 12Gb/s MR controller installed. There will be more drives. These aren’t necessarily the drives
