A server rebuild question
Title: A server rebuild question Hi guys, I am falling in love more and more with amanda now. Got a new server and all set. Just a quick one. I remember that before, when running amcheck, I used to get an e-mail after. I don't seem to be getting this, but I do get my completed backup email from amdump like normal. Gavin. PS. Are there any better amanda documentation resources out there? I feel the restore one needs to be redone/added too. May I? P.P.S> it will be posted also on may page at http://FedoraNEWS.ORG/ghenry when I'm done, as I have been meaning to do the restore howto for a while now.

Q: HP C7971A tapetype (Ultrium LTO 1)
Hi!
I'm trying to use amanda with HP Storageworks MSI5030 library.
It uses C7971A tpaes (100GB/200GB), but I can't find any amanda
tapetypes in th Net. So, I ran amtapetype. It was working for
about 12 hours with the folloeing results:
$ /usr/sbin/amtapetype -f /dev/nst0 -t "HP-C7971A"
Writing 1024 Mbyte compresseable data: 26 sec
Writing 1024 Mbyte uncompresseable data: 71 sec
WARNING: Tape drive has hardware compression enabled
Estimated time to write 2 * 1024 Mbyte: 142 sec = 0 h 2 min

}
amtapetype: could not rewind /dev/nst0: Input/output error
I think length and filemark are too large for this tapes. Does
anybody uses same tapes with amanda?
P.S. Right now I figured how to turn HW compression off (with mt
utility) and started amtapetype again...

It runs much faster if you give it a realistic capacity estimate,

amtapetype: could not rewind /dev/nst0: Input/output error
I think you ran into a tape write error the second time.
The second pass should write about twice as much files as the first
pass. (When giving a realistic estimate the first pass writes about
100 files instead of 9709 files. Much much faster.)
The size of a filemark is computed as the difference in data written
between pass 1 and pass 2 divided by the difference in number of
file marks written between pass 1 and pass 2.
Because you hit some error, that computation was wrong.
The tape length is the average of the two passes included the computed
bogus filemarks.
I think length and filemark are too large for this tapes. Does
anybody uses same tapes with amanda?
P.S. Right now I figured how to turn HW compression off (with mt
utility) and started amtapetype again...
The hardware compression algorithm in the drive is capable of detecting
nearly uncompressable data and does not behave as most other drives do
(expanding that data by blindly applying the compression algorithm).
That means it is not that important to turn off hardware compression
for these drives.
But it is important to find out where that error came from.

(use "amcheck -a DailySet1" to always send mail.) I could also be that mail is not properly configured on that machine, or that the machine is denied delivering mail on the mail server because it looks too much like spam.

Hi my friends,
I'm enable back-up server in my company and are dificulties in
configuration amanda.conf and tapehcharger.
The device tape is above description:
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.4
aic7860: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs
Vendor: SONY Model: SDT-4000E Rev: E326
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
(scsi0:A:3): 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8)
When running amtapetype, receiv this information:
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
comment "hardware compression on"
length 2048 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 267 kps
}
I don't have any experience with a Sony SDT-4000E, but "2048" seems
a bit suspicious as "random" number for capacity, (especially
with hardware compression on, which expands random data on all but
the most modern drives).
Is this more or less in the range that you expect for that kind of
hardware?
If you really want to use hardware compression, then you have to
make a wild guess of how much uncompressed data will fit on the tape.
Running amtapetype for getting the numbers is just a weird hobby in
that case.
If you want Amanda to do accurate calculations with these tapetype
numbers, then you better have hardware compression off (and use
software compression if you like).
Whith configure my amanda.conf and chg-scsi.conf files for correct
executing amanda back-up program?
I don't have a real changer. Don't know anything about it.
Other experts using chg-scsi ?
You have to add that tapetype definition (using a better name than
"unknown-tapetype") to amanda.conf and change the tapetype to point
to that tapetype, like:
tapetype my2Gig
define tapetype my2Gig {
comment "hardware compression on"
length 2048 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 267 kps
}
I guess the real problem is much deeper than tapetype, isn't it?
Explain what you try to do (e.g. weekly full backups using 20 tapes,
and running each weekday). Also post the amanda.conf you build
thus far.
Best regards.
Thanks
P.S.: Please, sorry my bad english.
Never mind. Mine is quiet bad, euh, quite bad too (he, Stefan?).

Kaushal Shriyan wrote: Can anyone tell me how do i know the status of the amanda progress while dumping to the tape #amstatus DailySet1 gives me saying dumping to the tape but what about the progress viz some % like 20 % something like that Any help That's the limitation of amstatus. (amstatus does give percentages, but they relate to the total number of bytes estimated, and have a granularity of each backup image.) Only if you can find out how to (portably) program to look inside a running process data structure and see where the current filepointer is in some large file. Even "lsof" on Linux is not capable of that! If you really really really want to get more accurate, you can configure a small "chunksize", and then using lsof find out which chunk is being taped from the holdingdisk. (Apart from modifying taper and letting it communicate how many bytes are taped using some e.g. some socket.) Personnally I've never felt the need to know more details.

Installation problems
Hello, I've recently started trying to get amanda installed (the newest version as of a week ago) on a few of my linux boxes here in the shop and I've come across two problems. The the server install went smoothly on my Debian Sarge install, as well as a client install on 3 Fedora boxes. However, when I did a client install on two of my other debian boxes, amcheck returns that it cannot find DUMP on those machines. I've checked all of the following: 1) Dump is installed 2) The amanda user has priveleges to use dump 3) Permissions are exactly the same as on my my working amanda server as well as the working fedora boxes. I've checked the FAQ on the website as well as the help documents included with amanda and these mainly suggest that if dump works for the user on the client machine, it should for the server. Soo..I'm stuck. If anyone has any ideas about what I should be checking /doing I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks! -Steve

Does dump have the same path on all the boxes? Check the debug files (normally in /tmp/amanda) on the non-working client, it should give you the full path for the dump it is trying to run and possibly a more complete error message.
