I have installed Amanda 2.4.2b2 on four workstation:
n.1 Linux i386 Red Hat 7.0 hostname = WIND
n.2 SunOS 5.7 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 hostname= cirrus and
nimbus
n.1 SGI IRIX64 6.2 hostname= tornado
the net work fine. I use cirrus with dat for tape server and every night
amdump works fine for workstation and pc with smbtar
Now the problem is for amrecover: from every work stations it is OK, but
from linux do not work.
I have upgraded Linux with amanda Version 2.4.2p1: no change but one
problem
more; I have root filesystem on a RAID disk and new version look for a
/dev/root device that do not exist. I have to link /dev/md4 to /dev/root
on linux or change SUN in disklist from / to /dev/md4
(on raid disk I do not use label that I known it is a problem)
below you can find some logs from my commands:
1) ping and nslookup fron linux to SUN OK
2) telnet from linux to SUN at port amandaidx OK
3) telnet from linux to SUN at port amidxtape OK
4) amrecover from linux to linux for test OK
5) amrecover from Linux to SUN and amrecover.debug NOT OK !
6) amrecover from SGI to SUN OK!
7) amrecover from SUN to Linux OK
Very strange !
Thanks in advance
