Backup Central

Hi,
I have amanda 2.4.2 p2 installed on a linux machine (hostname justin / ip 192.168.110.21) as both a server and a client. I have the same version of Amanda installed as a client only on both a Solaris (daryl / 192.168.110.20) and AIX (mike / 192.168.110.30) machine.
I am able to successfully run amcheck on both clients. Then, amdump works on the Solaris machine but not the AIX machine. The AIX machine displays errors with the planner. It seems to be having an "error result" from the host, then it says "missing estimate".
Any insight as to what might be going on is greatly appreciated.
Here is my "amdump.1" logfile followed by my .amandahosts file.

I don't seem to have the sendsize*debug file from that test so I just ran it again my amdump.1 log from this test has the same "missing estimate" messages. Here is the content:

Please reply below the quoted text -- it makes it easier to follow the

How about /tmp/amandad*debug then?

Sorry about that - I haven't used a group like this before. Thanks for letting me know.

How about /tmp/amandad*debug then?

Is /usr1/public/jxs/spdtest.ksh a filesystem, a subdirectory of a fs, or a
file? Only the first case will work with dump. For the second case,
you'll need to use tar. The third case is just kind of silly. :)

I'm going the silly way. I forgot all about dump only working on filesystems (a lesson I learned last year). I was using a file just as a test. Nonetheless, I changed my disklist to backup /dev/hd3 on mike and I get similar results.

I thought that was going to be the answer for sure because I see that I'm using gtar on my Solaris machine and dump on the AIX.

I just installed gnu tar on my AIX machine and I tried again using GNUTAR instead of DUMP. I also changed what I'm backing up on mike from /dev/hd3 to /tmp. Similar response. Missing estimate.

But now the contents of the /tmp/amanda/*.debug files should at least
be different. What is it now?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your help. The contents of those files seems pretty
similar to earlier runs. Here they are:

Actually I was expecting this a little bit
They should be different, because the path to gnutar is hardcoded in
amanda. When you compiled amanda the first time, gnutar was not there,
so there was no support for gnutar built into the program.

After installing gnutar, you should recompile amanda.
(Just on that client is ok).

Actually I was expecting this a little bit
They should be different, because the path to gnutar is hardcoded in
amanda. When you compiled amanda the first time, gnutar was not there,
so there was no support for gnutar built into the program.

After installing gnutar, you should recompile amanda.
(Just on that client is ok).

Surprisingly, I actually thought about that after I ran the earlier test (mainly because I saw that GNUTAR was UNDEF on my Solaris machine, but it worked anyway). I looked at the code and saw the GNUTAR dumptype will default to regular tar if it can't find gtar when amanda is configured (I think). Nonetheless, I'm happy to try any suggestions, so I recompiled the client and tried again. Here are my results:

And the file ends here?
That means that "sendsize" somehow did not return anything.
Wasn't there a debug file named sendsize.DATETIME.debug?

It is only 2 lines long. I assume that's not good. Here are the contents:
