Very Computer

Hi,

Sorry about this simple question, I have hunted high and low on the
machine and round various web sites and can find no answer.

I am trying an rdump and am getting the following messages:

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.

and the dump does not work.

This is an AIX 4.2 machine. A machine (which has just gone out the door)
was 4.1.4 and rdump worked fine.

I cannot find the description for these messagesa anywhere, could
someone please point me to a resource where I can find them. Note I
don't (at the moment) need help sorting the problem, just where to find
these error descriptions.

Also:

What is the ksh equivalent of $status.

If I run the rdump in csh, echo $status returns 3: under ksh i get a
blank line. What should I be echoing.

Many thanks in advance.

This is probably due to some changes in the path where the rdump expects
its remote rmt server, this was historically /etc/rmt and was then either
/usr/sbin/rmt or /usr/bin/rmt. Check where your rmt is on the tape machine
and make sure there are symlinks so it can be found at all three
locations.
