disk 33 0/0/1/0.1.0 sdisk NO_HW DEVICE HP DVD-ROM 305
/dev/dsk/c9t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c9t1d0


The DVD is not there.


Please check if it is listed in /etc/fstab and remove, if present.

Hi Mithun,

from the output it is clear that this is a DVD and not available in OS.

disk 33 0/0/1/0.1.0 sdisk NO_HW DEVICE HP DVD-ROM 305
/dev/dsk/c9t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c9t1d0

are you taking backup on DVD or from DVD?
what exactly you are doing?

if you dont have permisson then please discuss with your system Admin.

[mithun m surpur]

I am taking the back-up in into the tape(HPDAT catridge)

[Torsten.]

The system try to touch it, probably because it is listed in fstab.

Remove the entry, check the drive or remove the device file of the dvd.

[sarfaraj ahmad]

As per ioscan -fn output below dat drive is visible in OS

tape 1 1/8/0/0.11.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE HP C7438A
/dev/rmt/1m /dev/rmt/c15t11d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/1mb /dev/rmt/c15t11d0BESTnb

/dev/rmt/c15t11d0BEST /dev/rmt/c15t11d0DDSn
/dev/rmt/c15t11d0BESTb /dev/rmt/c15t11d0DDSnb

Please run below command and get the CLAIMED device path,

ioscan -fnC tape

As per output, try to take the backup on that DAT drive.
