Ignite

Hi All,

I am taking Ignite backup through make_tape_recovery command and after backup if i am checking what is backing up in the tape
through /usr/bin/tar tvf /dev/rmt/0m command it gives me Tar blocksize=4 and directory checksum error.

So, please suggest me how to check what is backed up in the tape through command line.

regards,

Re: Ignite

At the beginning of the tape is the boot loader - this is not part of the tar archive.

Use

check_tape_recovery


or

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

(for pa-risc systems)

For Itanium, you need fsf 22.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Can you please try using :

if that is Ok, then please do
mt -f /dev/rmt/0m rewind
