selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK

[Adina]

When running amcheck DailySet1 on a suse 10 server, I got this error. I did try solving the problem from other posts but with no success.
I do get a debug file on my client (also running suse10).
This is what it looks like:

Any ideas?

[ppragin]

Hello,

Make sure you are using "auth bsdtcp" in your dumtype definition. If you are not sure what i am talking about, go ahead and post your amanda.conf and i can help you.

Hi Adina,

Please take a look at Amanda wiki for trouble shooting this problem.

http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amcheck:_selfcheck_request_failed

Thanks,
Paddy

[Adina]

Thanks for the reply.
In amanda.conf I added auth "bsdtcp" in define dumptype global
I also changed the xinetd and .amandahosts configuration files.
Now I get an error:
selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer

[Adina]

Hi,
I still get the error "selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer" found no trouble shooting for this.
anyone can help?

[paddy]

Can you please provide output from /tmp/amanda/<config name>/selfcheck* and
amandad* logs? It appears amandad or selfcheck has closed socket connection
abruptly.

Thanks,
Paddy

[martineau]

Which auth are you using?
This is probably an auth misconfiguration.

Can you provide the output of: amadmin <config> disklist
And the /etc/xinetd.d/amanda file

[Grubsy]

Hi, I am also having this problem:

[Grubsy]

Also i was wondering about my .amandahosts file. does this look ok:

myserver amanda
myserver.mydomain.com amanda
myserver root
myserver.mydomain.com root

Thanks Again!

[Grubsy]

I'm not sure if these files show anything useful?

any other info?

[martineau]

Your xinetd config on the client say -auth=bsdtcp
but your amandad log show that it use bsd:
security_getdriver(name=BSD) returns 0xf7f700e0

Have you restarted xinetd have you made the change.
Maybe you have 2 files for the amanda service? which confuse xinetd

[Grubsy]

hmm... i seem to have fixed my problem by adding

10.1.1.2 myserver.mydomain.com myserver

to the /etc/hosts fine on myserver

I have a new problem now. I added a remote machine to my disklist

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: remotehost.mydomain.com: [addr 10.1.1.2: hostname lookup failed]

(1.2.3.4) is myserver's IP

[Grubsy]

I have a new problem now. I added a remote machine to my disklist

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
ERROR: remotehost.mydomain.com: [addr 10.1.1.2: hostname lookup failed]

(1.2.3.4) is myserver's IP

I fixed this problem by adding

10.1.1.2 to /etc/hosts on the client machine (remotehost)

I don't understand why the server and client aren't using DNS for this? I never had to add these entries with my old amanda setup

[Adina]

I restarted my xinetd, I get the same error: selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer.
