Hi there,
I had restored a server from other server's backup and now facing a challange of taking an Ignite backup to be future-safe.
Could anyone tell me, what is the best device file to take an ignite backup on this one, as other device files are not created in this case?
al2c5s:/> ioscan -fnC tape
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=====================================================================
tape 0 8/16/5.0.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE HP C1533A
/dev/rmt/c1t0d0BEST /dev/rmt/c1t0d0BESTb /dev/rmt/c1t0d0BESTn /dev/rmt/c1t0d0BESTnb
Regards
Sunil

SolutionIgnite (the make_tape_recovery command) requires the no-rewind device file. The naming convention using BEST was a very poor design, but you can look at the letters following. the word BEST. The letters are:
(no letter) = automatic rewind on close
b = Berkeley handling for tape (no automatic featuers)
n = no-rewind handling
nb = Berkeley and no-rewind
See the man page for mt (man 7 mt) for details.
Use /dev/rmt/c1t0d0BESTn for Ignite backup.
