Hi all, I've been backing up about 12 linux and solaris boxes with amanda 2.4.2 for a years now. Finally i got new ibm eservers to replace the old pcs 2 some of my linux servers were on and the move was wonderful, that is, except for amanda. 2 of the servers moved are backup up fine with no changes required, however 2 others are giving me some grief.
amcheck runs fine on all of them. (no errors detected) when amdump runs on the amanda server the process seems to start on the clients, and then time out. The logs are: The server shows: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: mail-ex-1. /var/spool/exim lev 0 FAILED [Request to mail-ex-1.health.gov.il timed out.] mail-ex-1. /boot lev 0 FAILED [Request to mail-ex-1.health.gov.il timed out.] mail-ex-1. / lev 0 FAILED [Request to mail-ex-1.health.gov.il timed out.] mail-ex-2. /var/spool/exim lev 0 FAILED [Request to mail-ex-2.health.gov.il timed out.] mail-ex-2. /boot lev 0 FAILED [Request to mail-ex-2.health.gov.il timed out.] mail-ex-2. / lev 0 FAILED [Request to mail-ex-2.health.gov.il timed out.] and the clients show: amandad: debug 1 pid 11967 ruid 502 euid 502 start time Wed Nov 19 17:41:02 2003 amandad: version 2.4.2p2 amandad: build: VERSION="Amanda-2.4.2p2" amandad: BUILT_DATE="Sun Aug 24 10:53:13 IDT 2003" amandad: BUILT_MACH="Linux mail-ex-1 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP Thu Mar 13 17:45:54 EST 2003 i686 i686 i3 86 GNU/Linux" 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/" amandad: RDEV_PREFIX="/dev/" DUMP="/sbin/dump" amandad: RESTORE="/sbin/restore" SAMBA_CLIENT="/usr/bin/smbclient" amandad: GNUTAR="/bin/gtar" COMPRESS_PATH="/bin/gzip" amandad: UNCOMPRESS_PATH="/bin/gzip" MAILER="/usr/bin/Mail" amandad: listed_incr_dir="/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists" amandad: defs: DEFAULT_SERVER="mail-ex-1" DEFAULT_CONFIG="DailySet1" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_SERVER="mail-ex-1" amandad: DEFAULT_TAPE_DEVICE="/dev/null" 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 002-A0C00708 SEQ 1069256707 SECURITY USER amanda SERVICE sendsize OPTIONS maxdumps=1;hostname=mail-ex-1.health.gov.il; GNUTAR /var/spool/exim 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1 GNUTAR /var/spool/exim 1 2003:11:6:14:55:6 -1 GNUTAR /boot 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1 GNUTAR /boot 1 2003:11:12:18:58:10 -1 GNUTAR / 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1 GNUTAR / 1 2003:11:19:3:1:0 -1 -------- sending ack: ---- Amanda 2.4 ACK HANDLE 002-A0C00708 SEQ 1069256707 ---- bsd security: remote host amandasrv.matat.health.gov.il user amanda local user amanda amandahosts security check passed amandad: running service "/usr/local/libexec/sendsize" amandad: sending REP packet: ---- Amanda 2.4 REP HANDLE 002-A0C00708 SEQ 1069256707 OPTIONS maxdumps=1; / 0 SIZE 1346680 / 1 SIZE 18660 /boot 0 SIZE 10870 /boot 1 SIZE 10 /var/spool/exim 0 SIZE 15810 /var/spool/exim 1 SIZE 13280 ---- amandad: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: waiting for ack: timeout, retrying amandad: dgram_recv: timeout after 10 seconds amandad: waiting for ack: timeout, giving up! amandad: pid 11967 finish time Wed Nov 19 17:43:07 2003 I would greatly appreciate anybodys help on this matter..
