Hello,

 

I am attempting to get the functionality of AMANDA down and during the initial testing locally. I am discarding tape data by putting 'tapedev "null:"  ' in amanda.conf.  When I run amcheck, I receive the a "host down" message even though my backup backup client is on the same host as server, my system is a solaris 10:

 

 

[host] ~ > amcheck ProtoLocal
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
WARNING: tapedev is null:, dumps will be thrown away
Holding disk /amanda-vtapes-local/ProtoLocal: 9375682 KB disk space available, that's plenty
NOTE: skipping tape checks
NOTE: info dir /usr/adm/amanda/ProtoLocal/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run
Server check took 0.002 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: localhost: selfcheck request timed out. ! ; Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.027 seconds, 1 problem found

(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4)
