dump script
I am a complete HP-UX novice, though I do have experience in Solaris (I'm rusty, though). I am trying to create a script file to backup a Visualize B180L running HP-UX 10 to an external DAT. Does anyone know the blocking factor that is appropriate?
My other problem is specifying the filesystem. I know the disk is /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 but when I enter this, I get an error about not being HFS. I assume it is because I am missing the slice, but I don't know how to determine it. And do I just target the dump file to /dev/dat or is there something like /dev/rmt/??? that I should be using?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards

Re: dump script
Don??t worry ! I did a script that copies a file to the DDS tape. The script is in the attachment.

Re: dump script
The best way for you to back this up is to use a product called Ignite/UX:
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/index.html
Ignite is designed to produce a bootable backup tape of your root logical volume (VG00). You can also use Ignite to backup other volume groups if you have them, though it is generally recommended that you restrict Ignite to VG00 and use conventional backup procedures like fbackup/frestore for non-root Volume Groups. If you didn't see any other VG's other than VG00 in your vgdisplay command then you don't have to worry about any others.

With fbackup you are ok anyway but for your info look at

This machine is in our shop, running a coordinate measuring system; no internet, no LAN... I'd be kind of averse to trying to teach them Ignite....

Re: dump script
While fbackup(1M) is recommended, you can use [r][vx]dump(1M), also with LVM.
I do not know why you would specify /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 when specifying a filesystem, because /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 is a (physical) *volume*, not a *filesystem* *in* a volume. I.e. why don't you specify for example "/opt" like the manual page says?
Anyway, with LVM, *Logical* Volume Manager, you specify *logical* volume names (/dev/vg??/[r]lvol?), not *physical* volumes (/dev/[r]dsk/c?d?s?).

You use Ignite-UX for *crash-recovery* backup and a file-oriented backup program (like fbackup, dump, HP's OmniBack, etc.) for *file* backup. One is no replacement/alternative for the other.

Re: dump script
You can gain a better understanding of LVM by reading chapter-6 ("Administering a System: Managing Disks and Files") in "Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators":

Re: dump script
The syntax is different - granted - but the general concepts are the same.
