why is this dump failure occuring despite amcheck is okay?
I'm running amanda server and clients on redhat linux systems. My tape server is a machine called vision.csrees.usda.gov. It runs amanda 2.4.2p2 installed from rpm on Redhat 7.1. My new tape client is a machine called plone (listed below) which runs amanda 2.4.4 installed from source on Redhat 8.0. /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1 gives the green light for plone, but /usr/sbin/amdump produces the following failure: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: plone.csre /boot lev 0 FAILED [could not connect to plone.csrees.usda.gov] plone.csre / lev 0 FAILED [input: can't open: plone.csre / lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed] Why is the backup failing? -- Michael Martinez Linux System Administrator Marlaw Systems Technology Inc.

But why would it connect during amcheck but not during amdump.? mike On Wed, 2003-05-28 at 10:28, Jon LaBadie wrote: On Wed, May 28, 2003 at 10:20:53AM -0400, Michael Martinez wrote: I'm running amanda server and clients on redhat linux systems.

Possibly an xinetd problem? In all 3 sections of the amanda related
file(s) put in the /etc/xinetd.d directory, the line containing the
word 'disable' should be set to 'no'
I'm a bit ambiguous about the file count there because you can have
3 seperate files, or you can combine them into one, xinetd doesn't
seem to care. Here's mine:
---
# default = off
#
# description: Part of the Amanda server package
# This is the list of daemons such it needs
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
}
service amandaidx
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
}
service amidxtape
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= amanda
group = disk
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
}
-
which is simply called 'amanda' but could in fact be named almost
anything since its presence and contents are apparently what count.

/usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1 gives the green light for plone,
but /usr/sbin/amdump produces the following failure:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
plone.csre /boot lev 0 FAILED [could not connect to

Why is the backup failing?
The message said:
[could not connect to plone.csrees.usda.gov]
Looks like network connectivity/permission problems.
