Hi All,
I installed Amanda 2.6.1p2 into Redhat EL 6 and am evaluating it
for the company for which I am working.
The RPM package I installed is included in a install DVD of Redhat EL 6.
I tried to use chg-disk, but encounterd a problem.
I set tpchanger in newer style, just like this:
tpchanger "chg-disk:/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01"
I made plural slots in the virtul disk and labeled them and run amdump
twice. Then I loaded the slot used by 1st run and tried to restore
from it by amrestore but it failed, just like this:
# amrestore -p file:/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01 my_server_name > tmp.tar
amrestore: Error reading volume label: Error checking directory
/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01/data/: No such file or directory.
This seems the same trouble decribed in the following URL:
http://marc.info/?l=amanda-hackers&m=124590988502332&w=2
I tried the patch for disk.pm which was attached the following
message in this thread, then amrestore works sane.
I also tried setting tpchanger in old style like this:
tpchanger "chg-disk"
tapedev "file:/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01"
This also makes amrestore work sane.
I am planning to use Amanda 2.6.1p2 several months after.
Which is the best choice for me?
(1) Wait for Amanda 2.6.1p3 which allows me to use chg-disk
in newer style.
(2) Use chg-disk in old style.
Sincerely.
