Error Message
 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.
