Amanda users, Server is Solaris x86, with amanda 3.1.2, locally built Client is CentOS 5.9 with amanda 2.5.0p2, package
I know I must have restricted port ranges on the server because I pass through a firewall and have ipf.conf settings on a client on the far side set to (edited for line length) pass proto tcp from 'server' port 10083><10101 to any port 10083><10101 pass proto udp from 'server' port 931><949 to any port = amanda I'm having trouble figuring out how to set the port range on the new client, which was a pre-build package. (and is back rev, yet that was what was found in the repository). Amdump of the client has these errors in its report and backups are not happening. Amcheck runs cleanly, I see daemons start, but I do not see any data exchange. stemcell-stage /usr/share lev 1 FAILED [too many dumper retry: [could not connect DATA stream: can't connect stream to stema.wadsworth.org port 51058: Connection timed out]] stemcell-stage /etc lev 1 FAILED [too many dumper retry: [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]] stemcell-stage /var lev 0 FAILED [too many dumper retry: [could not connect DATA stream: can't connect stream to stema.wadsworth.org port 54800: Connection timed out]] stemcell-stage /export/bak lev 1 FAILED [too many dumper retry: [request failed: timeout waiting for ACK]] I have created an amanda-client.conf on the client. Based on the client's amanda debug file I see '--with-config=DailySet1' CONFIG_DIR="/etc/amanda" I created /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda-client.conf and attempted to add port information unreserved-tcp-port 1083,10101 reserved-udp-port 931,949 but this is clearly not working. Do I need a better kit? Do I need to build it locally? Do I have the wrong directory? Am I using the wrong options or values? Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help appreciated. thank you, Brian --- Brian R Cuttler brian.cutt...@wadsworth.org Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773
