Probably /opt/ignite/bin is not in your path

Try the following

cd /opt/ignite/bin
./make_tape_recovery

or

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery

Hi,

for checking the tape do:

# mt -f /dev/rmt/?mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/?mn fsf 1
# tar -tvf /dev/rmt/?mn

(replace "?" with the correct number)

Ok, It's work. Tks verymuch

But how i restore from tape if my Hard disk problem ???

[Torsten.]

It depends. For PA_RISC servers just boot from the tape and the archive will install.
For some Integrity servers you must boot from an install DVD first to be able to access the tape
