Hello All,
We use a system of scripts and Exabyte-8200 tape drives to back
up our 50+ Megs of disks here. The scripts basically do a "rsh
system /etc/dump 0f system:/dev/nrst0 /filesystem" to pick up
file systems from remote machines. This works very well with our
Sun systems, however when it comes to our DEC/Ultrix systems, we
always get errors something like this:
The Ultrix system bundles the dump up like a huge file, and when
it gets to the Sun host that issued the dump request, an fopen error
occurs. This is a part of the dump log:
DUMP: Date of this level 9 dump: Mon Nov 12 23:35:21 1990
DUMP: Date of last level 8 dump: Thu Sep 27 08:34:42 1990
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rra1h (/mnt1) to sugar:/dev/nrst0
DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: Estimated 298770432 bytes output to file named sugar:/dev/nrst0
DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails
DUMP: Child 10565 returns LOB status 4
DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 0
Has anyone out there seen this, and found a resolution ??
Thanks in advance,
