Hello.

After upgrading from 4.0B to 4.0D, I am unable to vdump remotely root_domain
and usr_domain. The "vdump" is aborted with the message:
"dd read error: Connection reset by peer". I have tried several times and
from different hosts but the result remain the same. All the hosts are in
DU4.0D.
 
Following is the backup script:

#!/bin/csh
vdump -0 -f - / | rsh <host_with_DLT> dd of=/dev/nrmt1h obs=64k
vdump -0 -f - /usr | rsh <host_with_DLT> dd of=/dev/nrmt1h obs=64k

The first command (vdump of root_domain) always terminates successfully.
The vdump of usr_domain is always interrupted with a message as bellow:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
vdump: Dumping regular files
 
vdump: Status at Tue Aug 25 12:47:58 1998
vdump: Dumped 171862616 of 611482159 bytes; 28.1% completed
vdump: Dumped 177 of 878 directories; 20.2% completed
vdump: Dumped 2599 of 28796 files; 9.0% completed
dd read error: Connection reset by peer
446786+190347 records in
4732+1 records out
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The percentage of data dumped before the error message varies.

Maybe someone have already solved this kind of problem and could help
me.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Christophe.
