Hi:

"How to configure" is based on what it is you want to do. I suggest you examine the manpages and Google "rsync tutorial" for some background.

Regards!

I can configure rsync for red hat. I use this information:

http://www.vicente-navarro.com/blog/2008/01/13/backups-con-rsync/

but in HP-UX is diferent.

Someone was working with rsync en HP-UX?

[Patrick Wallek]

>>but in HP-UX is diferent.

No, it really shouldn't be.

What problem are having when trying to configure it? What have you done? What does not work?

[juanitourquiza]

I installed this:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/rsync-3.0.6/
HP-UX 11i v3
(HP-UX 11.31) Itanium 2

In the documentation say: "Is neccesary install xinetd" then I installed the xinetd.

after of configuration rsync:
[sync_windows]
uid=nobody
gid=nobody
comment=Sincroniza carpeta web entre servidores
path=/pruebas
read only=false
hosts allow=172.16.5.56

My error is the next:
rsync: failed to connect to 192.168.26.10: Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.6]

How I can execute the daemon xinetd and the daemon rsync?

Regards

>>>rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.6]<<

It would be better to check ??

do simple ping test verse vis .
you can also add route to source & target

Hi,
I don't have xinetd on my 11.31 and rsync works well. It's mean you have installed ixXinetd from internet express
HTH

[juanitourquiza]

I understand.
What is his your configuration for rsync?

How I can execute daemon for rsync?

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

My Server (rsync) configuration

/etc/rsyncd.conf on sourcehost:
# read only = true
uid = root
gid = root
max connections = 0 # no limit
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
log file = /var/adm/rsync.log
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
timeout = 300

[segment]
path=/fs/vg03/lvol1

Rgds,
Johnson

I made this:

[sync_windows]
#uid=nobody
#gid=nobody
uid=root
gid=root
comment=Sincroniza carpeta web entre servidores
#path=/pruebas
path=/dev/vg00/lvol3
read only=false
hosts allow=172.16.5.56

In the pc windows executed this:
First:
- rsync -ar 192.168.26.10::sync_windows /pruebas --delete

Second:
- rsync -ar 192.168.26.10::sync_windows /dev/vg00/lvol3/pruebas --delete

But the error is the same:
rsync: failed to connect to 192.168.26.10: Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.6
]

Exist communication between this two servers:

C:\cwRsync\bin>ping 192.168.26.10

Haciendo ping a 192.168.26.10 con 32 bytes de datos:

Respuesta desde 192.168.26.10: bytes=32 tiempo=29ms TTL=254
Respuesta desde 192.168.26.10: bytes=32 tiempo<1m TTL=254
Respuesta desde 192.168.26.10: bytes=32 tiempo<1m TTL=254
Respuesta desde 192.168.26.10: bytes=32 tiempo<1m TTL=254

Estadísticas de ping para 192.168.26.10:
Paquetes: enviados = 4, recibidos = 4, perdidos = 0
(0% perdidos),
Tiempos aproximados de ida y vuelta en milisegundos:
Mínimo = 0ms, Máximo = 29ms, Media = 7ms

Waht happen with rsync?
Some idea?

since you issued that on the PC, it would seem that its possible that the daemon isn't running on the HPUX side. Did you add any entries to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf? If so, did you restart inetd?

see:

Did you try a basic test.

Like rsync -avz source_host:/source/path /destination/path

and be careful about the trailing "/" they cause rsync change recursive behavior.

man rsync.

This will test if you have ssh credentials working wiht rsync.

Then you can go back to the daemon testing.

I need disable two things:

- rsync 873/tcp
- rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd â daemon

I changed path in configuration:

[sync_windows]
uid=root
gid=root
comment=Sincroniza carpeta web entre servidores
path=/pruebas
read only=false
hosts allow=172.16.5.56

Thanks for your responseI need enable two things:
