How to do a ufsdump remote?

People i have 2 sun sparc solaris 10.

I have one filesystem to 98% and i need to do a ufsdump of that filesystem.
THe problem is that i don't have space to allocate the dump of the filesystem.
Thats why i want to do it from the other sun and bring the ufs dump to de /FREE filesystem.

Anybody knows how to do this?

Not sure if you are looking to just put a dump file on 2nd server, or re-create the FS on second server:

To dump to server 2 - you may need to put a /.rhost file on the servers or /etc/host.equiv and/or /etc/host.allow (see the ufsdump, rsh and rlogin man pages)

Server1> ufsdump 0fu Server2:/mydirectory/myfileonS2 /myfileonS1

what i need to do is erase some files from the 2 server, but before i want to save a ufsdump of the filesystem (save it on the 1 server).

Doesn`t work

I do that and the dump is ok but nothing is send to the other place.

See if rsh will work from server 1 to server 2

rsh -l validuserid_on_server2 server2 some-command

example: rsh -l enkei17 server2 uptime

If that doesn't work, you may have a problem with the set up of your /.rhost file on the servers or /etc/host.equiv and/or /etc/host.allow.
