People -
I'm trying to get amanda working. As a test, I've installed the latest
version (2.3.0) on 2 machines - client and server. Both are FreeBSD
2.2.1-RELEASE machines.
I've followed the steps in the docs/INSTALL document, scoured the man
pages, and searched the archives, to no avail. The problem seems to be
that the client isn't responding to queries from the server. Here's as
much diagnostic information as I could get (probably much more than
necessary ;)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
server$ id
uid=12(ambackup) gid=12 groups=12
server$ amcheck test
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
/tmp: 346779 KB disk space available, that's plenty.
ERROR: /dev/nrst0: no tape online.
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writeable test.
Server check took 0.045 seconds.
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: client.sirius.com.: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 hosts checked in 30.076 seconds, 1 problems found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.3.0)
server$ amdump test
server$ cat log.19970814.0
START planner date 19970814
START driver date 19970814

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the configuration details. On the server:
-- amanda.conf -----------------------------------------------------------
org "Test Config" # your organization name for reports
mailto "admin@sirius.com" # the mailing list for operators at your
site
dumpuser "ambackup" # the user to run dumps under
dumpcycle 7
tapecycle 20
bumpsize 10 MB # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 -> 2
bumpdays 2 # minimum days at each level
bumpmult 2 # threshold = bumpsize * (level-1)**bumpmult
tapedev "/dev/nrst0" # or use the (no-rewind!) tape device directly
tapetype EXB-8500 # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)
labelstr ".*." # label constraint regex: all tapes must match
diskdir "/tmp" # where the holding disk is
disksize 100 MB # how much space can we use on it
infofile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/test/curinfo" # database filename
logfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/test/log" # log filename
[... snipped tapetype and dumptype declarations ...]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- disklist -------------------------------------------------------------
client.sirius.com. sd0 comp-test
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the client and server have:
amanda 10080/udp
kamanda 10081/udp
in /etc/services
and inetd.conf looks like (on both, and yes I restarted inetd...):
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd
finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/libexec/fingerd fingerd -s
-l
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper popper
amanda dgram udp wait ambackup /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad
kamanda dgram udp wait ambackup /usr/local/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad -krb4
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rlogind rlogind
exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rexecd rexecd
and both have ~ambackup/.rhosts which contains:
client.sirius.com ambackup
server.sirius.com ambackup
and is owned by ambackup.
tcpdump shows that the server is correctly probing the client, but that
the client isn't responding properly:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
client$ # amdump running on the server...
client$ tcpdump udp and host client and host server
tcpdump: listening on de0
13:50:37.949862 mail2.sirius.com.815 > mail1.amanda: udp 126
13:50:47.956256 mail2.sirius.com.815 > mail1.amanda: udp 126
13:50:57.966371 mail2.sirius.com.815 > mail1.amanda: udp 126
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somehow, it looks like amandad isn't getting started properly. Any hints,
anyone?
Thanks,
David Lowe
