Bareos client status unknown on director.

[Parashar Pradhan]

Hello Team,

I am integrating bareos with relax and recovery

Here is my rear configuration which I kept to minimum 

cat /etc/rear/local.conf

BACKUP=BAREOS

BAREOS_CLIENT=client7-fd

Here is my client configuration

# cat client7-fd.conf
Client {
  Name = "client7-fd"
  Address = "x.x.x.x"
  Password = "secret"
}

I checked on bconsole and it is connecting to the client

Connecting to Client client7-fd at x.x.x.x:9102

Daemon started 22-Jul-22 11:11. Jobs: run=0 running=0, bareos.org build binary

Running Jobs:

But while running mkrescue I am getting below error:

Any help on this is appreciated.

Hi,

i think you need to setup bconsole on the client too.

Thanks Juergen,

After configuring bconsole in client now I am able to create rescue image using rear.

However during restore I am stuck at below 

"Waiting for jobs to start"

In logs I can see below error:

failed to connect to director localhost:9101

Any help on this please?

Thanks

Any help on this?We are still stuck during restore:

"Waiting for jobs to start"

In logs I can see below error:

failed to connect to director localhost:9101

We have created a similar machine with same configuration. I have not enabled network.

Please let us know if anyone has any clue.

Thanks
