Re: error in rewinding the tabe
BR0278E Command output of 'LANG=C mt -f /dev/rmt/0m rew':
/dev/rmt/0m: Invalid argument
So perhaps this isn't the correct device. Check your device with
ioscan -fnCtape
Maybe the device is something like 1m, not 0m, if you have multiple drives or you did connect the same device with different SCSI IDs.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: error in rewinding the tabe
rmsf -H 0/6/1/0.3.0
insf -H 0/6/1/0.3.0
or use SAM to re-create the device file.
(peripheral device -> tape -> actions -> recreate)
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: error in rewinding the tabe
have you tried executing
# LANG=C mt -f /dev/rmt/0m rew
directly on the command line? Does it return the same error?

John K.

Re: error in rewinding the tabe
there seems to be something seriously wrong with the device file: you mention that you could take normal os backup. Did you use the same device for that? If not, try using the device used for os backup.
Have you tried Torsten's suggestion?
regards,
John K.

Re: error in rewinding the tabe
In the past, with other combinations of drives and backup products, I've had these problems:
Once, a coworker defined one of four tape drives wrong in the backup product which gave intermitant service on that particular drive. Actually, I was surprised it worked at all.
Another time, "somebody" cabled the tape storage unit wrong.
Another time, a third party engineer loaded the wrong mico-code or firmware into an HP branded tape unit causing it to freak out a bit.
Another time, a third party backup product was unable to understand the order in which the drives were cabled thinking they could only be arranged "vertically" and not "horizontally." So, we manipulated the file accordingly. My HP engineer ran into a similar problem at an auto plant where he was working at about the same time and decided to move the actual cables to the order the software expected.
