Amanda users, The backup of this particular DLE is pretty much hit or miss, it'll run great for a week and then fail for a week, I haven't been able to disern a pattern nor reason.
The amanda server is old, 2.4.4 on a Solaris/Sparc system, the newest client is a Solaris/x86 with a current version 2.6.1 of amanda. The client "sc1" backs up up fine, we backup the "ldom" logical domain separately since it lives on a ZFS partition that is not available to the underlying OS. Because of the size of the dorldom1z1 partition, which is a non-global zone running oracle, we back it up separately from the other non-global zones, which run other, lighter apps. The base system "sc1" backups up fine, the ldom and 3 of the 4 non-global zones backup without error, its just this one additional non-global zone that has been problematic. We are in process of upgrading the amanda server, but that will come along with an upgrade of the box it sits on, a fire wall we plan to replace. thank you, Brian ----- Forwarded message from Amanda on Gat0 <ama...@wadsworth.org> ----- X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.3 X-Wadsworth-MailScanner-Watermark: 1259181455.66...@4bajfdx2tcafjzrjbrxikw Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:37:34 -0500 (EST) From: Amanda on Gat0 <ama...@wadsworth.org> To: amanda-...@wadsworth.org Subject: Mimosa AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR November 18, 2009 X-Wadsworth-MailScanner-Information: Please contact CSS for more information X-MailScanner-ID: nAIKbYiq009086 X-Wadsworth-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-Wadsworth-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=-1.151, required 5, autolearn=not spam, AWL -1.15) X-MailScanner-From: ama...@gato.wadsworth.org These dumps were to tape MIMOSA15.
