Increase parallel processes

Hi All, I have 5 main server to archive. The largest one is about 6TB (RAID 5) containing 70% of my DLEs both in numbers and data volume. Amanda does a good job of running parallel dumps at the start of each run, however after a few hours she is left with only DLE to process on the

Re: Increase parallel processes

man amanda.conf maxdumps int Default: 1. The maximum number of backups from a single host that Amanda will attempt to run in parallel. See also the inparallel option. Note that this parameter may also be set in a specific dumptype (see

LTO4 amtapetype problem?

Hi, Not really an Amanda question but I'll try anyway... I can't get better than ~60MiBs to LTO4 tape when using amtapetype. I tried 32k 1024k and 2048k, with and without hw compression enabled. Any hints? I've added some info below. I can provide more upon request. Note that tapeinfo reports

Re: Problems with changing from IP address to named host

D'oh! I was pinging just the machine name and not the fully qualified name and it turns out it was a problem with the name service configuration file. A line in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file needed to be changed from hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 to hosts:

Hardware Question: IBM 3573-TL

We've heard tell of some strange behavior on an IBM 3573-TL changer. Does anyone have one of these, who might be able to verify this? First, when a tape is moved from a storage element to a data transfer element (from a storage slot to a drive, for mere mortals), the drive seems to misidentify
