For some reason, I though amplot was too difficult to set up and use, so I never tried it for the last three years that I've used Amanda. Now, with a new installation, I've tried it. However, I'm not sure how to read and understand the plots.
Would anyone be willing to take a look at the amplot output at http://www.jhuccp.org/20040828.pdf and http://www.jhuccp.org/20040831.pdf and give me any suggestions on how my setup could be tuned? In general, I think everything's okay, since all the lines are below 100% capacity, but that's the limit of what I can get from the plots. Specifically, is it normal or common for there to be an almost 50 minute dead-space at the beginning of each run? I'm familiar with the idea of needing time to compute estimates, but this seems excessive. Also, should I worry about these lines when I produce an amplot: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/amanda/DBackup$ amplot -e -p -l -t 2 amdump.2 Unknown statement# driver: tape size 19714048 20040828 INFO# dumper: bind_portrange: all ports between 850 and 854 busy 20040828 INFO# dumper: bind_portrange: all ports between 10080 and 10083 busy Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate your advice. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
