I'm running Amanda 3.1.2 on Solaris 10x86, client is not server
but both platforms are same OS and Amanda version.
To correct this error
> amcheck -c curie finsen
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: finsen: service selfcheck: selfcheck: error [open pipe to
/usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amzfs-snapshot: Too many open files]
ERROR: finsen: service /usr/local/libexec/amanda/selfcheck failed: pid 3008

(brought to you by Amanda 3.1.2)
I'm trying to increase the number of file descriptors avaiable to
the amanda processes on the client.
Recognizing that amanda processes do not invoke the shell and
will not execute .cshrc, I am trying to increase the file limit
by modifying resource controls.
[finsen/export/home] cat /etc/project
system:0::::
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::::
group.staff:10::::
user.amanda:10080:Amanda
Daemons:amanda::process.max-file-descriptor=(basic,8192,deny)
This seems to be fine for interactive processes
> id
uid=110(amanda) gid=3(sys)
> plimit $$
5292: -tcsh
resource current maximum
time(seconds) unlimited unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited unlimited
stack(kbytes) 10240 unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 8192 unlimited
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited unlimited
But this is the shell.
When we check the daemon we see a different story.
[finsen/root] plimit 26084
26084: /usr/local/libexec/amanda/selfcheck amandad bsdtcp
resource current maximum
time(seconds) unlimited unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited unlimited
stack(kbytes) 10240 unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 256 65536
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited unlimited
I'm unclear as to how to increase this limit for the amandad
daemon as started by inetd.
Clearly I'm missing a step but I'm not finding the right docs.
thanks,
Brian
