Installation

This article describes how to install Bacula Enterprise Openstack VM Plugin.

The installation process consists of two parts.

Note

Bacula Enterprise Openstack Plugin must be installed on Openstack host machine.

First, the installation of the bacula-enterprise-openstack-vm plugin with the BIM tool.

Second, configure the plugin as described in Configuration.

Third. by running the install script located at /opt/bacula/scripts/install-openstack-vm.sh two times and adjusting the Bacula director configuration.

First time with the configure option root@user:~# /opt/bacula/scripts/install-openstack-vm.sh configure
Second time with the install option root@user:~# /opt/bacula/scripts/install-openstack-vm.sh install
At this point a configuration sample located at /opt/bacula/openstack/bacula-dir.conf.sample is created. Inside this file, there is a configuration example that should be adjusted and added to /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-dir.conf.
The install script can be run the third time with the test option with root@user:~# /opt/bacula/scripts/install-openstack-vm.sh test to check if the installation is correct.

Note

If the Bacula director already has a Client resource, the Client in bacula-dir.conf.sample should be ignored as the Client resource should not be duplicated.

Note

The OpenStack account name should be the user running the cinder-backup service. Use any of the following commands to check the user running the cinder-backup service:

# systemctl status cinder.backup.service
#  ps aux | grep "cinder-backup"
