SelfCheck Timeout?

2004-02-03 Thread Kin-Ho Kwan
Hi, I had Amanda server running for half year and I want to add a client these days. However, after I installed the client and tried to run amcheck, the server pop-up an error "WARNING: client.machine: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?" When I checked the error log on the client, I got

For the record, I finally figured out what the problem was. (!!!) In /etc/services on the problematic clients, I had all of my custom ports listed, as well as the default ports (10080, etc). I had the default ports (10080 TCP/UP) at the very bottom, below all of my custom ports. I moved the de

I was sighupping xinetd instead of stop/starting it. Once I did that, it worked great. Thanks everyone, Lee > On Wed, Oct 10, 2001 at 09:13:17AM -0500, Lee Fedor wrote: > > > > service amanda > > { > > disable = no > > socket_type = dgram > >

well, I know where the problem has to lie. I just don't know what I am doing wrong, or how to fix it. I have setup everything on my redhat 7.1 client for backups, but it isn't listening on 10080. (amanda-2.4.2p2) I have sigHUP'd xinetd several times while tweaking on this file, but still can't

First of all, do I understand correctly that you're trying to planner by hand? Although that can be done for debugging purposes, it is certainly not a recommended procedure. For one thing, it will leave pieces partially done (a "log" file) that you'll have to clean up or the next real run will f

I was just checking over the strace's for amcheck and planner, and noticed, that amcheck makes a chdir call to change workin dir to /etc/amanda/DailySet1 when trying to open the amanda.conf file. Planner on the other hand makes no such call, and therefore lacks the ability to see "amanda.conf" whi

Default location for Amanda to look for configuration files is in /usr/local/etc/amanda. Unless you explictly defined another location during your build via the configure command. If nothing else works, try running amcheck using a trace program. For Solaris, "truss amcheck DailySet1" or for Lin

Does anyone else have problem with planner not reading the config file? I can see in the planner output that it's looking in /etc/amanda which is 664 and has a copy of amanda.conf as well as /etc/amanda/DailySet1 which is where I'm assuming it's looking. Planner should be able to read and execute
