Hi all,
I have installed the amanda rpms given with Red Hat 6.0.
After editing the configuration files I ran amcheck ... and I got the
following :
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
/storage/amanda: 8375172 KB disk space available, that's plenty.
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.
Tape Daily1 label ok.
Index dir "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index" doesn't exist or is not
writable.
Server check took 15.087 seconds.
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: localhost: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.001 seconds, 1 problem found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1)
The 3 configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d are as follows :
#xinetd.d file = amandad#
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = operator
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
disable = no
}
#xinetd.d file = amandaidx#
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
service amandaidx
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = operator
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd
disable = no
}
#xinetd.d file = amidxtape#
# default: off
#
# description: Part of the amanda server package
#
service amidxtape
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = operator
group = disk
server = /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped
disable = no
}
The permissions are :
-rw-r--r-- 1 operator disk 404 Nov 28 11:00 amanda
-rw-r--r-- 1 operator disk 412 Nov 28 10:42 amandaidx
-rw-r--r-- 1 operator disk 414 Nov 28 10:45 amidxtape
RedHat 7.0 runs amanda as the user "operator".
I tried to telnet to port 10080 (amandad port) but my connection was
refused (and it's the same with ports 10081 and 10082) ... which is the
reason why I guess selfcheck fails ... but I couldn't figure out why the
connection is refused given that there is no filter in the configuration
files!!
Has anybody had the same problems that I am having now???
Thanks in advance!!!
Bye, Antonino Casile
