I'm having trouble getting past the amcheck in seting up amanda. I
compiled as root (config'd with user=amanda, group=backup).
Currently I am just trying to get the tape server (Sun E250/Solaris 8)
set up and have itself as a client.
Pertinent files:
/etc/inetd.conf:
amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad
amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad
amandad
amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
amidxtaped
/etc/services:
amanda 10080/udp # AMANDA Backup s/w
amandaidx 10082/tcp # AMANDA Backup s/w
amidxtape 10083/tcp # AMANDA Backup s/w
I created compiled the sample c pgm from the UNIX backup (Oreilly)
chapter/secion on Amanda. It's output looks ok:
{datadev:amanda}$ a.out amanda udp
amanda/udp: 10080
{datadev:amanda}$ a.out amandaidx
amandaidx/tcp: 10082
{datadev:amanda}$ a.out amidxtape
amidxtape/tcp: 10083
When I run amcheck:
{datadev:root}# su - amanda -c "amcheck Daily"
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.8 Generic February 2000
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /backup/amanda: 11432812 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet101 label ok
NOTE: info dir /var/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run
Server check took 2.419 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: datadev.jamfo.com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.040 seconds, 1 problem found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
I've been through the faq, the O'Reilly backup book, and the docs that
come with it. I'm sure I'm overlooking something I should be doing, but
I haven't figured it out yet. I'd sure appreciate any guidance if
someone would care to give any.
Thanks,
Gene
