[comp.sys.hp] Hpux 7.0 rdump Question. was: Re: Is RDUMP available under HP-UX??

Hello,

I know that rdump is available on hpux 7.0, but I'd like to ask,
why is the format of dump different? For example, I can dump a 
filesystem on my vax, and restore it on my sun, and the other way
around, but when I try to restore a dump from hpux, restore on
both the sun and the vax core-dump...

Is there a way around that?

I've looked around & I can't find rdump...or an option in dump to support
dumps to remote tapes.  It must be somewhere????  I can't believe that HP
would leave RDUMP out of HP-UX.

----------

It is present on my HP-UX 7.0 systems (300 and 800) as /etc/rdump.  Also see
the dump(1m) man page where it is documented.  What version of HP-UX do you
have?
