Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: 192.168.15.245: selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK Client check: 1 host checked in 30.097 seconds, 1 problem found
Note: Possible causes mentioned below should only be considered if amandad is working on client (pls. check /tmp/amanda/amandad.debug for problems, if is doesnt exists then amandaclient has never run!)
- Possible Causes (other than amandad not working on client)
1. DNS service not available or not working. If client cannot resolve server name then this error message is seen.
Remedy:
- Correct the name resolving issue and make sure client is able to connect to the server.
OR
- Add server name entry in /etc/hosts of client machines.
2. If your client is a Virtual Machine, and /tmp/ directory is locked/engaged by some process. e.g NIS client of VM fetching NIS server.
Remedy:
- Stop the NIS service, ensure "ls /tmp" or ls "/var/tmp" responds promptly as other directories, then run amcheck.
