barman client database on windows

[Paul van Rixel]

Hi all,

I'm running barman version 3.01 on a Linux (RH 8) server which is the master/barman server. I have some Linux server configured in streaming_barman mode including wal-archiving and that works fine.

However, I still have 2 Postgres instances running on windows server (have to be migrated once to linux) but for the time beeing I only wanted to backup them via barman. Use almost the same config as the linux ones except for the ssh settings etc. 

If I run from the barman server:

psql -c 'select version()' -U barman -h <hostname>-p 5432 postgres 

I do get a response:

------------------------------------------------------------

PostgreSQL 12.10, compiled by Visual C++ build 1914, 64-bit

Also if I use:  psql -U streaming_barman -h <hostname> -c "IDENTIFY_SYSTEM" replication=1 -p 5432

I do get a response.

But when I simply as user barman at the central barman server want for example check the status or a check-status I got an error.

> barman show-server <hostname defined in the barman.conf> 

I got the error: 

ERROR: unknown server '<hostname>'

Anyone ideas? Has this to do with the difference in linux versus windows? I tried several things but looking for a solution.

Thanks!!

Best regards,

Paul

As trivial as it could be, any chance the <hostname> you are referring
to is not the same as the ini configuration file server name?
Or even barman is trying to look for files in the wrong directory?
This should not be, since the linux server are running fine, but pleae
double check.

Hi Luca,

Stupid action. I noticed that new config barman files are in /etc/barman/conf.d while I used to have them in /etc/barman.d. I found the difference in the general /etc/barman.conf . 

So fixed this and barrman founds the server now. What a fresh morning and cup of coffee can do ;-)

Thanks,

Paul
