Re: ignite backup query
Ignite defaults to the first tape device on the system.
If you look at man page the -a parameter lets you specify a tape drive.
ioscan -fnC tape
To see your listed available tape devices. Not all tape drives are bootable.
Check with support to see if yours is. Most HP brand drives can boot a system.

Re: ignite backup query
You could check the log file of your recovery:
# grep Location /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log
* Recovery Archive Location = /dev/rmt/0mn
Cheers,
Wout

Re: ignite backup query
It looks like this tape is fibre connected, so is it part of a library?
"Because the tape loaded is not showing any space consumed."
How did you check this?
In order to be able to advise how to check an ignite tape, one must know if you have a PA-RISC or Integrity system.
The command
# model
will tell you.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: ignite backup query
As specified above ignite will use default drive /dev/rmt/0mn unless you specify using -a option or having the file /var/opt/ignite/recovery/default
Try read the content of the tape loaded on /dev/rmt/0mn by using tar.
#tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0mn
You can identify the drive by LED indication and it has the data on it or not.

Re: ignite backup query
If you not specify -a in the command, then its 100% sure the tape drive was /dev/rmt/0mn
So check the /dev/rmt/0mn drive.

Re: ignite backup query
I got the below output,
#ia64 hp server rx3600
where as it's a tape library and connected using fibre. We are using HP data protector software, which shows the used & free space on tape. We had loaded the required tape in drive for this backup which shows no space consumed. Please see the attached file for the output.

Re: ignite backup query
Make a backup and check afterwards:
# mt -f /dev/rmt/_mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/_mn fsf 22
# tar -tvf /dev/rmt/_mn
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
