Shalom,

Probably the /var file system is lacking enough free space to do the pax backup of temporary files or the tape is bad.

Try another tape and try cleanup -c 1 as root to clear some quick space, or use sam to trim your logs

#mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rewind

this should the Drive and Status As Online.

Try the write operation to the tape:

#tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn /tmp

if all is fine:

#mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rewind

#make_tape_recovery -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn
