The setup: serverA (Tru64 4.0) used to provide backup services to serverA (itself) and clientB (Tru64 4.0).
I've migrated the tape from serverA to clientB, towards a shutdown of serverA. Everything seems to work fine (from the hardware side), the database has been successfully copied over (/etc/myconfig and /usr/adm/amanda were scp'ed to clientB), but with two glitches: clientB seems to wish to restart my tape schedule at tape00, whereas serverA did his last backup on tape04. But the real kicker: clientB will not accept connections to backup from itself! The exact log from amcheck is: Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape TAPE04. (expecting tape TAPE00 or a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test. Server check took 5.716 seconds. Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: clientB: [access as root not allowed from root@clientB] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.453 seconds, 1 problem found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) ----- What exactly is wrong? Have fun, Chris -- I haven't lost my mind. It's backed up on tape somewhere.
