Better open your own thread next time!

Your line

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -AvI -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/1m

must be

# /opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -AvI -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/1mn

>> ERROR: This is not a no rewind device file.

Maybe the 12GB DDS tape is too small...
