Re: how to check the Tape drives working condition by using command.
Are you using any Backup Software like
1) HPDP
2) veritas
You can check uma command in HPDP to check the status of the tape drive..
Thanks

Re: how to check the Tape drives working condition by using command.
please try following steps:--
(1)ioscan -fnC tape to check the tape path .. (..it should be /dev/rmt/xmn)
(2)# mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn status ( to check the status of tape)
(3)#mt -f /dev/rmt/xmn rewind ( To rewind the tape )
(4) Try to take the test backup using fbackup as
fbackup -i /tmp/test -f /dev/rmt/0mn ( Taking the bkp of /tmp/test on tape
(5)frecover -f /dev/rmt/0mn -x -v -i /usr ( Restore on /usr and verify the data )
(6) if you are able to recover the backed up data then tape is proper.
Regards,
Subodh.
