hello,
I've just installed an Amanda backup client on an AIX 4.3 box.
amanda version : 2.4.2
##### client side #####
gnu-tar has been installed on this client in
/usr/local/bin/gtar
and to be quite sure, I've also made a link as
/bin/gtar -> /usr/local/bin/gtar
On this client, Amanda was compiled with the following options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/amanda
--without-server
--with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/gtar
...
the configure script then shows the following message:
...
checking for gnutar... (cached) tar
...
(what does this mean?)
##### tape server side ####
On the server (Redhat7), the dumptype section
for the AIX client says :
define dumptype ... {
...
program "GNUTAR"
...
}
when trying a check witch amcheck, here is what I get:
sh$ ./amcheck -c daily1
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: [backup-client-name]: [GNUTAR program not available]
...
##########
There must be something that I didn't understand!
Does someone have an idea?
thanks,
Pierre.
