ufsdump to remote AIX tape drive

807557Feb 18 2010 — edited Feb 20 2010

I am trying to ufsdump to a remote tape drive that is on an AIX box.

I have configured the /.rhosts file on the AIX server

I have created a symbolic link /etc/rmt to point to /usr/sbin/rmt on the AIX box

I am running the following command on the sun box

ufsdump 0cuf AIXBOX:/dev/rmt0.1 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0

but I get this :

DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Feb 18 15:42:17 2010
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 (SUN10:/) to AIXBOX:/dev/rmt0.1
DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: Writing 63 Kilobyte records
DUMP: Estimated 12017946 blocks (5868.14MB).
DUMP: Lost connection to remote host.
DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Feb 18 15:42:28 2010
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch

Is it possible to get this to work?
