Re: ignite-ux error

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.

Hope this helps!

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.

Regards,

Mark
