Anyone familiar with rdump.
>From AIX 4.2, setting up an rdump to a DU 4.0a tape server, I get the
connects (rsh is working properly between the machines) and PassI and
PassII, but get a failure after the PassII:
rdump: Protocol to remote tape server botched (in rmtgets).
rdump: Lost connection to remote host
rdump: Bad return code for rdump:1
>From another AIX 4.2.1 box I get a similar error after Pass1 and Pass2,
although perhaps more descriptive:
rdump: 0511-232 Communication protocol error: rmtgets failed.
rdump: 0511-223 The remote host connection is lost.
rdump: 0511-203 Internal error; exit status 1 is not recognized.
I assume the error is rmt on ther remote machine, but this is my first
experience with rdump and I am not sure I have it setup correctly. Here's
what I have for a command string run by root on the local machine:
rdump -0 -f tserver:/dev/nrmt0h /db001
How do I debug and/or resolve the these errors? I tried appending the
output of /usr/sbin/rmt on the DU remote server to a file, but am getting
no output logged. There is a logical link between /etc/rmt and
/usr/sbin/rmt on the remote machine.
