Entry for backup server in client /etc/hosts fixed the problem...I had a brain hemorrhage for a moment.
-----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Pakish Crum Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 4:18 PM To: Amanda Users (E-mail) Subject: Backing up over different subnets, domains Has anyone had to back up with amanda using different subnets, different domains? I'm getting errors, and I realize it's not amanda's problem...but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it? I'm getting an amandad.xxx.debug file in /tmp/amanda on the client, so clearly the communication from the backup server to the client is running, but then I get a hostname lookup error, so what's actually failing? DNS? A firewall issue? Anyone have any clues? Backup server is RH7.2 running amanda2.4.2p2, client is solaris 2.6 running amanda2.4.2p2 as well. amandad.xxx.debug: amandad: debug 1 pid 9243 ruid 1003 euid 1003 start time Tue Dec 3 14:45:22 2002 amandad: version 2.4.2p2 amandad: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.2p2" amandad: BUILT_DATE="Tue Dec 3 10:50:50 CST 2002" amandad: BUILT_MACH="SunOS www 5.6 Generic_105181-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60" amandad: CC="gcc" amandad: paths: bindir="/usr/local/bin" sbindir="/usr/local/sbin" amandad: libexecdir="/usr/local/libexec" mandir="/usr/local/man" amandad: AMANDA_TMPDIR="/tmp/amanda" AMANDA_DBGDIR="/tmp/amanda" amandad: CONFIG_DIR="/usr/local/etc/amanda" DEV_PREFIX="/dev/dsk/" amandad: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/rdsk/" DUMP="/usr/sbin/ufsdump" amandad: RESTORE="/usr/sbin/ufsrestore" GNUTAR="/usr/local/bin/tar" amandad: COMPRESS_PATH="/opt/OSE/bin/gzip" amandad: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/opt/OSE/bin/gzip" MAILER="/bin/mailx" amandad: listed_incr_dir="/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists" amandad: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="web.isymmetrics.com" amandad: DEFAULT_CONFIG="DailySet1" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="web.isymmetrics.com" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="/dev/rmt/0bn" HAVE_MMAP HAVE_SYSVSHM amandad: LOCKING=POSIX_FCNTL SETPGRP_VOID DEBUG_CODE amandad: AMANDA_DEBUG_DAYS=4 BSD_SECURITY USE_AMANDAHOSTS amandad: CLIENT_LOGIN="amanda" FORCE_USERID HAVE_GZIP amandad: COMPRESS_SUFFIX=".gz" COMPRESS_FAST_OPT="--fast" amandad: COMPRESS_BEST_OPT="--best" UNCOMPRESS_OPT="-dc" got packet: -------- Amanda 2.4 REQ HANDLE 000-E0A70708 SEQ 1038949202 SECURITY USER amanda SERVICE selfcheck OPTIONS ; GNUTAR / 0 OPTIONS |;bsd-auth;index;exclude-list=/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar; -------- sending ack: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-E0A70708 SEQ 1038949202 ---- amandad: sending REP packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 000-E0A70708 SEQ 1038949202 ERROR [addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: hostname lookup failed] ---- amandad: got packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 000-E0A70708 SEQ 1038949202 Any help would be greatly appreciated...
