Hi all,
I have been busy settings up a backup solution for my FreeNAS box.
using the documentation, I have setup ZFS Replication to a remote server (same LAN).
At this time, the remote server boots up at 00:50.
replication is set to start at 01:00 and run to 05:00
The remote server powers down at 05:00
I would very much like the remote FreeNAS server to power down when replication is finished.
I don't know how to trigger a remote power down, or even how to setup a scheduled one from the Main FreeNAS box. (PUSH).
It would be even greater if can also power on the server before replication starts.
I have also successfully tested WOL, however not from my FreeNAS Box.
When replication runs, it is very hard to tell (for me) the state of the process.
I use zpool list on the remote server to see if the remote volumes are growing, but this only works the first time, and it's not an automated way of monitoring the process.
I also check the utilization of the switch port, and / or NICs, to see if data is still transfer.
Do you guy's know if there is a better way to monitor the replication process?
It would be great to see the status, time left, success or failed, etc.
I am running 9.1.1 on both boxes.
Thanks!
