Hi all,

when i am running amcheck DailySet1 am getting this error
i installed amanda server on cent os 5.2 and my client is solaris-10 (x86-intel version)

please help me........... I tried a lot

Hi !

Is carona.rrap-software.com the Solaris 10 right ?
Looks like a remote connection problem. It has any kind of firewall running on it (iptables/ipchains) ?

On Solaris, check the inetd configuration file for the amanda service has "disable = no". I think the default is "disable = yes" and you need to change it yourself by editing the file. Restart inetd after any changes on its configuration files.

I am new to solaris may i get details about inet file needed for amanda
is this same as amandaserver & amandaclient file in the /xinetd.d/ directory in LINUX

[marozsas]

I am not sure if it is the same on linux. On linux it is /etc/xinetd.d/amandaclient and it looks like this:

[zenoss@agente86 ~]$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/amandaclient 
# default: on
#
# description: The Amanda backup client should be enabled for systems
#              which will be backed up by an Amanda backup server.

service amanda
{
	disable		= no
	flags           = IPv4
        flags		= IPv6
	socket_type	= stream
	protocol	= tcp
	wait		= no
	user		= amandabackup
	group		= disk
	groups		= yes
	server		= /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad 
	server_args     = -auth=bsdtcp amdump
}
[zenoss@agente86 ~]

And don't forget to check if it has a firewall running. Disable it just to test the connection again using amcheck.

cheers,

in solaris inetd config file should be at /var/lib/amanda/example/inetd.conf.amandaclient
is amanda service running?

try running following command , it should show online
# svcs -a |grep -i amanda
online Nov_14 svc:/network/amanda/tcp:default

if it is not onlne try to restart with "svcadm restart svc:/network/amanda/tcp:default" command.

[praveen]

svcs -a |grep -i amanda

i tried this .............

i copied the contents of /var/lib/amanda/example/inetd.conf.amandaclient file and put it in /etc/inetd.conf file ............then i restarted the amanda by using this
svcadm restart svc:/network/amanda/tcp:default command
then i got this output

svcadm: Pattern 'svc:/network/amanda/tcp:default' doesn't match any instances


here iS the content of /etc/inetd.conf


amanda stream tcp nowait amandabackup /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad amandad -auth=ssh amdump amindexd amidxtaped


am usig ssh as authentication protocol
i dont is there any problem in my installed package for amanda.................????

[marozsas]

I'm sorry, I never used the ssh authentication. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas to help you.....
I hope others can.

cheers

Show me you are using ssh as authentification?
> amadmin DailySet1 disklist | grep -i auth

If you are using ssh, an inetd is not needed.

[praveen]

amadmin DailySet1 disklist | grep -i auth
auth ssh
auth ssh

[martineau]

Add:
debug_auth 1
to the amanda.conf and amanda-client.conf

retry amcheck.
post the latest amcheck.*.debug for the server
post the latest amandad.*.debug and selfcheck.*.debug from the client.
Check system log to be sure the ssh made a connection

Can you upgrade amanda on carona.rrap-software.com to 2.6.0p2?
