Well dump is actually being initiated from the Linux side. I believe that rmt gets called on the remote side, but I'm not sure how that comes into play with the dump command. I did notice the following in the HP man page:
But again, the dump is being initiated from the Linux side and it supports backing up large files. I wonder if it's an RMT limitation on the HP side?

Hi,
I have a problem writing or copying a file 2GB or larger to either the second or third disk on my C8000. I've searched this forum and found some good information on this but still nothing to solve the problem.
I'm running hpux 11i, JFS3.3 and disk version 4 (from fstyp) on all 3 disks.

Any idea how to get around this limit? I have a 42GB database backup file (.dmp) taking up disk space because neither tar nor cpio are able to put it onto a tape. I am on a SUN Solaris using SunOS 5.8. I would appreciate whatever help can be provided. Thanks! (9 Replies)
Hi All,
We are running HP rp7400 box with hpux 11iv1.
Recently, we changed 3 kernel parameters
a) msgseg from 32560 to 32767

Hi All,
I want to store 32KB of file in Oracle DB into CLOB field. I am not able to insert more than 32KB of file into CLOB. So i want to put a limit on the file size. I am using k shell.
My file size will dynamically increase its size, i want to check the file size if it is more than 32KB... (1 Reply)
Hi,
Am trying to run zip -r on a 2.4G directory and it is failing with the error below. I believe this is because of the 2G limit of the zip program.

rmt
RMT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RMT(8)NAME
rmt -- remote magtape protocol module
SYNOPSIS
rmt
DESCRIPTION
Rmt is a program used by the remote dump and restore programs in manipulating a magnetic tape drive through an interprocess communication
connection. Rmt is normally started up with an rexec(3) or rcmd(3) call.
The rmt program accepts requests specific to the manipulation of magnetic tapes, performs the commands, then responds with a status indica-
tion. All responses are in ASCII and in one of two forms. Successful commands have responses of:
Anumber
Number is an ASCII representation of a decimal number. Unsuccessful commands are responded to with:
Eerror-number
error-message
Error-number is one of the possible error numbers described in intro(2) and error-message is the corresponding error string as printed from a
call to perror(3). The protocol is comprised of the following commands, which are sent as indicated - no spaces are supplied between the
command and its arguments, or between its arguments, and '
' indicates that a newline should be supplied:
Odevice
mode
Open the specified deviceusing the indicated mode.Deviceis a full pathname and modeis an ASCIIrepresentation of a decimal number
suitable for passing to open(2).If a device had already been opened, it is closed before a new open is performed.
Cdevice
Close the currently open device. The devicespecified is ignored.
Lwhence
offset
Perform an lseek(2) operation using the specified parameters. The response value is that returned from the lseek call.
Wcount
Write data onto the open device. Rmt reads count bytes from the connection, aborting if a premature end-of-file is encountered. The
response value is that returned from the write(2) call.
Rcount
Read count bytes of data from the open device. If count exceeds the size of the data buffer (10 kilobytes), it is truncated to the
data buffer size. Rmt then performs the requested read(2) and responds with Acount-read
if the read was successful; otherwise an
error in the standard format is returned. If the read was successful, the data read is then sent.
Ioperation
count
Perform a MTIOCOP ioctl(2) command using the specified parameters. The parameters are interpreted as the ASCII representations of
the decimal values to place in the mt_op and mt_count fields of the structure used in the ioctl call. The return value is the count
parameter when the operation is successful.
S Return the status of the open device, as obtained with a MTIOCGET ioctl call. If the operation was successful, an ``ack'' is sent
with the size of the status buffer, then the status buffer is sent (in binary).
Any other command causes rmt to exit.
DIAGNOSTICS
All responses are of the form described above.

People should be discouraged from using this for a remote file access protocol.
AUTHOR
The dump/restore backup suit was ported to Linux's Second Extended File System by Remy Card <card@Linux.EU.Org>. He maintained the initial
versions of dump (up and including 0.4b4, released in january 1997).
Starting with 0.4b5, the new maintainer is Stelian Pop
