I am going down that path and I put together a document that I presented to
our SYS-ADMIN group on how to install Amanda in our environment.
We have 4xSuSE LPAR's with one of them acting as the Amanda Server. The
other 3 are clients.
Instead of writing to Tape directly from the Amanda server, we are going to
DF/HSM on a zOS NFS Mount Point using Dave's method:

I also understand that Dave will be presenting over at the Chicago
conference.
If you need a copy of my implementation strategy which builds on the NFS
concept explained by Dave, please write to me off-list so I don't bother
everybody wit the details.

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
I'm reading up on Amanda, well, currently some old documentation
(SG246299 Linux on IBM eserver zSeries and S/390 ISP/ASP Solutions).
Using Amanda in a traditional network world, Amanda would be running on
a server with tape drives and the clients will be running on other
images and the backups are taken over the network. Sure, saves on tape
drives.
But on a mainframe, each image can own the tape drives.
I'm wondering (pros and cons) if anyone has made every Linux image, an
Amanda server and just back up its self. No network envolved. It seems
like it would be more efficient, but then....I think there would be a
lot of unknowns of how things work when you actually need something
restored (or your image rebuilt).
Or maybe Amanda just won't run this way.
Thanks
