SOLVED: remote tape with ontape (dd command) fail after openssh install

I'm ashamed. No openssh problem. The tape had the flap slided a bit to the locked position. The status of the device was "Write protected" $ mt -f /dev/rmt/2u statusVendor 'CERTANCE' Product 'ULTRIUM 2 ' tape drive: sense key(0x7)= Write Protected residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 0 block no= 0 And now: $ mt -f /dev/rmt/2u statusVendor 'CERTANCE' Product 'ULTRIUM 2 ' tape drive: sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 0 block no= 0 Thanks, Guillermo. -----Mensaje original----- De: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list-bounces@iiug.org] En nombre de Guillermo Gómez Valcárcel Enviado el: jueves, 13 de marzo de 2008 15:18 Para: informix-list@iiug.org Asunto: RV: remote tape with ontape (dd command) fail after openssh install I solved the permission denied of root remote command adding remote host to the .rhosts file of user root. False trail! The source of problem has to do with the post installation openssh. I take 6 years backing up my Informix database this way without problems. My key of the question is: After install openssh on the tape host, Why dd shell commands works and ontape dd commands doesn't? Thanks for all responses. Guillermo. -----Mensaje original----- De: Guillermo Gómez Valcárcel [mailto:guillermo.gomez@grafia.es] Enviado el: jueves, 13 de marzo de 2008 14:36 Para: 'Guillermo Gómez Valcárcel' Asunto: RE: remote tape with ontape (dd command) fail after openssh install I want to add more information fruits of in-depth investigation. When execute remote command as Informix: $ rsh gestion echo testTest When execute as root wot02# rsh gestion echo test permission denied Are ontape dd commands launched as user root? I will try to config openssh to get permission to root.

The onconfig parameter is: TAPEDEV gestion:/dev/rmt/2 Yesterday I install openssh in gestion (the tape host) and now I get dd: “Permission denied” when execute ontape command from another host that not have openssh installed. Database host: Informix Dynamic Server 9.21.UC5 – Solaris 8 without openssh. Tape host: Solaris 7 with openssh. $ ontape -s -L 1Please mount tape 1 on gestion:/dev/rmt/2u and press Return to continue ... Remote tape report: dd: /dev/rmt/2u: open: Permission denied could not write archive tape. Any remote command with dd works without problems: $ rsh gestion "dd if=/var/tmp/graficos_1999.txt" > /var/tmp/graficos_1999.txt89+1 records in 89+1 records out But ontape doesn’t. dd fail with Permission denied. What can I do? Uninstall on tape host? Install openssh on database host sent backup correctly? Please help, Thanks in advance.
