partial success with Amanda under StrongBolt/CentOS on Cobalt Raq4
2008-06-05 14:16:36
I tried to set up Amanda last night on my Cobalt Raq4i which is now
running the StrongBolt operating system which is built around CentOS 4.4.
v2.6.0 of Amanda won't configure because glib-config is returning a
version number less than 2.2.0 (I think the default glib version is 2.0 in
the OS distribution), so I tried v2.5.2p1 which is what I run on the tape
server machine (Sun Ultra 2), and this workstation (Sun blade 1000).
Configuring and compiling v2.5.2p1 worked fine - CentOS uses the xinetd
functionality so that was simple to set up after installing the compiled
Amanda software.
I have amcheck on the tape server host talking fine to the Raq4i but at
the moment it's giving back errors that amandad can't access the disk
devices. I've already added the 'amanda' user to the 'sys' group, and
chgrp'd all the disk devices to group 'sys' which should have worked, but
perhaps I'm overlooking something seeing at the OS is a modern Linux and
I'm used to Solaris. I'm sure it's something simple. 8-)
But apart from that, at least the software has configured, compiled and
installed without any problems, and I've set up communication between
amandad on the Cobalt and the Amanda software on the tape server host.
