are you able to control the library with chg-scsi? i'm running amanda on solaris8 with an exabyte ez17 library and i had to use chg-zd-mtx.
the host down error usually means the server can't talk to the client, can you ping it? stupid question i know but you have to ask. is the amanda client software running, netstat -a |grep am should tell you? you said that your using NIS, personally i'd still add the services to /etc/services if you only have it in NIS. in amanda's $HOME do you have the .amandahosts file? if should contain lines like: amandaserver amanda amandaserver.domain.com amanda without that you'll never get logged in. take a look at the /tmp/amanda directory, if it doesn't exist create it. you should be able to get alot of good debug info from there. -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corp.
