I am trying to get the indexing working with amanda and I cannot figure out to verify if I have it right yet.
If I log onto the client (euphrates) and try: # sudo amrecover oracle-a I get: 220 nile AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2001-10-10) 200 Working date set to 2001-10-10. 200 Config set to oracle-a. 200 Dump host set to euphrates. Can't determine disk and mount point from $CWD If I use setdisk to set the disk to one of the directories in disklist: amrecover> setdisk /t/tigris/ctrl_bkp Scanning /flood/amanda... oracle-b: skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. oracle-a: skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. oracle-w: skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. data-a: skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. 200 Disk set to /t/tigris/ctrl_bkp. No index records for disk for specified date If date correct, notify system administrator history shows: amrecover> history 200- Dump history for config "oracle-a" host "euphrates" disk "/t/tigris/ctrl_bkp" 201- 2001-10-10 2 oracle-a01 4 201- 2001-10-09 2 oracle-a00 3 201- 2001-10-08 1 oracle-a05 3 201- 2001-10-05 0 oracle-a04 6 201- 2001-10-04 1 oracle-a03 4 201- 2001-10-03 1 oracle-a02 5 200 Dump history for config "oracle-a" host "euphrates" disk "/t/tigris/ctrl_bkp" So there is a backup but no index! .amandahost on the server (nile): euphrates root euphrates amanda .amandahosts on the client (euphrates) nile amanda Both client and server have in /etc/services: # amanda services amanda 10080/udp amandaidx 10082/tcp amidxtape 10083/tcp and in inetd.conf: # amanda entries amanda dgram udp wait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amandad amandad amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amindexd amindexd amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped amidxtaped Both sytems are running Solaris 8 and Linux (RH 7.X) will be added soon. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
