Already, _now_ I'm ready to solve the real problem... Server is Solaris 10 x86, Amanda server 3.1.2.
Client, a CentOS 5x box has had amanda 2.5.... removed in favor of 3.3.0-1. I've finally figured out the dumptype/auth/protocal, amcheck is running properly. >From the amanda debug file, I find the config directory to be /etc/amanda, and the default config name "DailySet1", so I have copied the amanda.conf from the server to /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda-client.conf (on the client). I still see port issues in the amdump report. The next 2 tapes Amanda expects to use are: Curie504, Curie505. FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY: stemcell-stage /usr/share lev 1 FAILED [too many dumper retry: [could not connect DATA stream: can't connect stream to stema.wadsworth.org port 48982: Connection timed out]] stemcell-stage /etc lev 1 FAILED [too many dumper retry: [could not connect DATA stream: can't connect stream to stema.wadsworth.org port 48985: Connection timed out]] I'd thought the solution was adding the following to the amanda-client.conf unreserved-tcp-port 1083,10101 reserved-udp-port 931,949 Those values choosen as they where the ranged used when I build the amanda server. I know I'm close, but I'm just not getting it. Note - I had expected to see the amandad debug file tell me that I was or was not including the config file, I do NOT see that though I was sure I'd seen it in debug files on other amanda clients. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong debug file? Perhaps my amanda-client.conf is in the wrong directory? thank you, Brian --- Brian R Cuttler brian.cutt...@wadsworth.org Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773
