Last week I asked how I could convince AIX's rdump that a remote
Exabyte tape is big enough to hold a whole dump without switching
tapes. Both Andrew J. Schorr (schorr at ead.dsa.com) and Andrew T. Como
(como at max.bnl.gov) suggested using the "-d" and "-s" options to rdump,
for tape density and tape size, respectively. These are not
documented as valid for the AIX rdump, but they work nevertheless.
The command Andy Schorr uses is:
rdump -0 -u -c -b 32 -d 54000 -s 6000 -f dumphost:/dev/nrst1 <file system>
and Andy Como uses:
/etc/rdump -u -d54000 -s6000 -0 -fdumphost:/dev/nrst1 <file system>
Thanks for your help,
