Hi all,
recently I took over the admin-task for a solaris 10 x86 machine.
I would like to use rsync for backing up files via ssh to another machine. There are two machines I have tested with both without success. One is a ubuntu server 8.04, the other one is ubuntu 10.04 desktop.
Installed rsync from sunfreeware.com and also the dependencies. Tested locally, works fine. Two directories on the solaris machine are synced just fine.
When I try to backup to one of the other machines I get an error:
Code:
bash: /usr/local/bin/rsync: No such file or directory
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(601) [sender=3.0.7]
I can connect to the other machines from the solaris machine via ssh, so I am assuming ssh is not the problem.
Syncing between just the other two machines also works fine via ssh.
Any ideas what could be the problem?

Ok, problem solved. rsync needs to be in the same directory on both machines.
solaris was /usr/local/bin
while ubuntu is /usr/bin/
seems to work now

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
dtc-xen_migrate This shell script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc panel to manage a Xen VPS server. Note

This script is used to move the content of a Xen virtual machine (VM) managed with dtc-xen to another Xen server of the same type. The VM
destination will first be prepared, then the local VM will be shut down, then it's content will be transfered over using rsync.
Note that this is NOT a live migration, and down time of approximatively the time needed for the rsync will occure.
PARAMETERS
LOCAL_VPS_ID The DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99.
DESTINATION_HOSTNAME Destination Xen server hostname to migrate to.
DEST_VPS_ID Destination DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99.
EXAMPLE
dtc-xen_migrate 19 alpha.example.com 21
This will migrate the content of xen19 on the local machine to the destination server alpha.example.com using xen21 as VM name.
