ignite-ux error

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a recovery tape with make_tape_recovery and it fail with the following error:

ERROR: /usr/bin/dd if=/var/tmp/uxinstlf.recovery of=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=2k failed
to write LIF onto tape.
ERROR: Failed to generate LIF on tape .

======= 09/09/09 01:50:24 EDT make_tape_recovery completed unsuccessfully

could anybody tell me to clear this issue

It is telling "failed to write" - so I would try if the system can write to this tape in general first or try with another tape.

Hi,

See if you can write successfully to the tape using another form of backup, i.e. tar or cpio in order to eliminate ignite.

Examples :

tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn /etc

find /etc -print | cpio -ovcBxa > /dev/rmt/0mn

If they fail also then there is an issue with either the tape in the drive or the drive unit itself.
