Re: timeout while waiting for REP

Hi everyone,

I really want to start taking advantage of the tape-spanning features of
amanda 2.5, so I've begun the upgrading process... I've come a across a
problem that I am having difficulty resolving though.  Here's what I've
done so far.

1) Upgrade version of amanda on server to version 2.5 (success)
2) Upgrade version of amanda on client to 2.5 (only upgrading amanda on
one client, since that is the only one that needs tape-spanning)
(success)
3) Start using tape-spanning features of amanda (Failed).

Ever since I switched my many dumps on the client to one large dump w/
tape-spanning, I can't back up anymore.  here's the report in my email:

  aspapp2.tonservices.com   /opt/webapp/images  lev 0  FAILED [disk
  /opt/webapp/images, all estimate timed out]
  planner: ERROR Request to aspapp2.tonservices.com failed: timeout
  waiting for REP

  planner: disk aspapp2.tonservices.com:/opt/webapp/images, estimate of
  level 0 timed out,

So anyway, I'm not sure what that means... I tried google'ing, but this
doesn't seem to be a horribly common problem.  I tried looking through
the logs for this morning in /tmp/amanda, but nothing looked incredibly
relevant.  What exactly does this error mean?  What do I need to do to
resolve it?


Besides the "etimout" and faster estimate methods, it can also
be a firewall problem, as described here:
