I need a hand trying to figure out where to start troubleshooting my Amanda problem.
I had an Amanda system which worked fine, until I rebooted one of my clients. Now amcheck says this client times out. The first hint of trouble shows up in /tmp/amanda/amandad.?.debug: amandad: dgram_send_addr: sendto(0.0.0.0.948) failed: Invalid argument Making it this far indicates to me that amanda is listening correctly, therefore xinetd is working correctly. Seems to me that the lookup of the IP address of the host requesting the amcheck, the tapehost, is failing. I tried to check this on the client, but for some reason, it doesn't have nslookup or hosts loaded. It's my guess that amanda uses an internal routine which will still work, even if nslookup or hosts is not found on the host, but I'm not sure if this is correct. Any suggestions on what to check first on trying to solve this problem and get amanda back working on this client? Thanks for your time and help with this. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
