Hi, First go with amanda-3.1.0beta2 on a Debian/Lenny 64bit box. Configured with:
export CFLAGS='-m64' ./configure \ --with-testing=test \ --prefix=/opt/amanda-3.1.0beta2 \ --mandir=/opt/amanda-3.1.0beta2/man \ --with-tmpdir=/var/tmp/amanda-3.1.0beta2 \ --with-amperldir=/opt/amanda-3.1.0beta2/perl \ --with-config=test \ --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=disk \ --with-bsdtcp-security \ --with-amandahosts \ --with-tape-device=tape:/dev/nst1 \ --with-tape-server=watch \ --with-index-server=watch My first test was with a simple vtape changer and I can apparantly back up the client but how do I go around the fact that the switch `--with-testing' doesn't do what it's supposed to do: amrecover tries to connect to port 10080/tcp rather than the one I configured it with (amanda-test 22224/tcp). The problem it that the server is already an amanda server running 2.6.1p2 and is in production so when I start amrecover it connect to the amanda port as defined in inetd.conf: ~# /opt/amanda-3.1.0beta2/sbin/amrecover -C test -s watch -t swatch AMRECOVER Version 3.1.0beta2. Contacting server on watch ... 220 watch AMANDA index server (2.6.1p2) ready. Setting restore date to today (2010-04-29) 200 Working date set to 2010-04-29. 501 Could not read config file for test! Short of installing 3.1.0beta2 on a host without prior amanda installation is there a way to test and experiment using another tcp port for communication? One more things: notice the 'part X/UNKNOWN' in the amfetchdump output below. Normal? ~# su amanda -c \ "/opt/amanda-3.1.0beta2/sbin/amfetchdump -p -d chg-disk:/vtapes \ test gustav /raid/hrrt/SCS_SCANS 20100428 "| tar -xpGf - 2 volume(s) needed for restoration The following volumes are needed: vtape-1 vtape-2 Press enter when ready amfetchdump: 1: restoring split dumpfile: date 20100428171243 host gustav disk /raid/hrrt/SCS_SCANS part 1/UNKNOWN lev 0 comp N program APPLICATION ... amfetchdump: 12: restoring split dumpfile: date 20100428171243 host gustav disk /raid/hrrt/SCS_SCANS part 12/UNKNOWN lev 0 comp N program APPLICATION amfetchdump: 1: restoring split dumpfile: date 20100428171243 host gustav disk /raid/hrrt/SCS_SCANS part 13/UNKNOWN lev 0 comp N program APPLICATION amfetchdump: 2: restoring split dumpfile: date 20100428171243 host gustav disk /raid/hrrt/SCS_SCANS part 14/UNKNOWN lev 0 comp N program APPLICATION amfetchdump: 3: restoring split dumpfile: date 20100428171243 host gustav disk /raid/hrrt/SCS_SCANS part 15/UNKNOWN lev 0 comp N program APPLICATION regards and thanks to the amanda developers! jf -- <° >< Jean-François Malouin McConnell Brain Imaging Centre Systems/Network Administrator Montréal Neurological Institute 3801 Rue University, Suite WB219 Montréal, Québec, H3A 2B4 Phone: 514-398-8924 Fax: 514-398-8948
