Hey Gang!
Here's my reality:
I've two systems, clustered. One has a DLT tape drive, the
other doesn't.
My task is to restore both systems to a previous state.
System one was no problem; booted off the 4.0D CD, created
devices files, file domains, and filesets. Mounted the
filesets and vrestored their contents from the locally
mounted tape drive.
The second system is problematic. I boot off the same
CD, create device files, create a hosts file that
has the ip and nodename of the first system, and initialize
the tu0 interface. I can ping the first system, the one
with the tape drive.
The tape was written with vdump, so I modified the command
given on page 11-30 of latest Compaq System Administration
manual. Instead of
rsh remotesystem "dd if=/dev/rmt0h bs=10k" | restore -Yrf -
I try
rsh remotesystem "dd if=/dev/rmt0h bs=10k | vrestore -x -f -
This didn't work so I try
rsh remotesystem "dd if=/dev/rmt0h bs=10k | vrestore -x -f - /*
This doesn't work either.
I go back to the original machine and try these last two commands
locally. Still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to remotely
vrestore some files, that is vrestore files from
a drive on another system?
TIA!
