Ignite tape error

[Edward J. Segura]

Any idea why I would get this error after trying to load Ignite tape:
WARNING: Positioning tape failed: I/O error (errno = 5).
WARNING: f_unzip: input not a zip or gzip file
ERROR: read_raw_file: Input not in "gzip" compressed format
ERROR: Tar: blocksize = 0; broken pipe?
ERROR: File: /sbin/fs/lofs/mount not found.
Thanks

What was your command?

Or did you boot from tape in order to restore?

[Edward J. Segura]

I booted from a straight Ignite tape Ultruim 2.

[Torsten.]

This tape was created on the same system?

[Edward J. Segura]

Nope, I am trying it on a rp4440 and I believe it was built on a rp5470. Will this be able to recover on a rp7410?

[Torsten.]

What OS release (version/patch date) is stored on this tape? What ignite version was used? Maybe it is too old to support the different hardware.

[Edward J. Segura]

I believe it is 11.i, 64Bit, it seems to load fine until after the filesystems.

[Torsten.]

Does it load the install window?

The I/O error may point to a bad tape or drive also.

[Edward J. Segura]

I does go past the install install window or it wouldn't create filesystems right before the Archive. The tape drive is good.

We had a similar problem and it was the version of ignite. Please verify the version or use the OS DVD.
