Managing the HP NetStorage 6000 Using Telnet

L Specifies the length of the tape in megabytes. This also enables multi-tape archives
(default 0, not multi-tape). This option only has effect when creating a new archive
with one of the
c, F, or P modes. Most multi-volume tar commands sense the end-of-
tape based on write errors, but this tar does not. Files are not split across multiple tape
volumes. When a file will not fit on the current tape (based on the file size and the tape
size), the current tape ends and the next tape is requested. When reading a tape with
one of the
R, t, or x modes, a volume label record (see V below) with the name —
MORE—
causes tar to request the next tape of the set.
v Verbose option, tattles as things are done.
V Specifies a volume label to be written new archives (no default). This option only has
effect when creating an archive with one of the
c, F, or P modes. Non-traditional infor-
mation is written to the new archive. The first record of each tape of the new archive is
a volume label which contains the name given as a parameter. When both the
L and V
options are given, tar also writes volume label records with the name
—MORE—at the
end of all but the last tape of the tape set.
The partial backup and volume label features use record types that are compatible with
the GNU tar command, v1.10.
Usage:
tar mode [ file.bdl [ ARG-bCfLV … ] [ directory … ]
Example: tar cvfLVC aha1t50 40 XFER0821 /vol7/products src doc bin
tar xvC /vol6/from-dave games
tar FLV $bootdir/vol7.bdl 2000 Aug08 /vol7
tar PLV $bootdir/vol7.bdl 2000 Aug10 /vol7
telnet The telnet command establishes a terminal connection with remote system \f2hostname/addr.
It is primarily used during administration to make sure the remote system is properly prepared
to interact with \*(Ns. For example, to make sure that «upperCaseProduct» host name and
address are known to the remote system, or to make sure that «upperCaseProduct» has the
trusted access rights necessary for backup.
The best way to terminate the connection is to exit from the remote system, which should close
the connection and return to the «upperCaseProduct» command prompt. The key Control-_
(simultaneously press and hold the control and shift keys, and then press the underscore key)
also breaks the connection.
The telnet terminal emulator is very basic, but can support screen editors (like the UNIX vi(1)
command). Try these terminal types: vt100-am, vt100, ansi, pcansi, xterm, vt52.
Usage:
telnet hostname/addr
Example: telnet ahost
telnet 192.3.4.10
unset The unset command deletes variables. The varname/patn arguments may be a variable name
(e.g., hostname), or a wildcard that matches multiple names (e.g., com?.name, inet.*).
Usage:
unset varname/patn …
Example: unset lpt1.soj
unset com1.*
