ignite error

Hi Again,

Few possibilities:
1. Tape is not present in drive
2. Bad tape
3. Bad drive

Secondly,
Check permissions to the files in /dev/rmt.
# ll /dev/rmt/* ## should be read-write

Make sure that the tape is NOT write-protected. (need to physically check)

Still require:
# diskinfo /dev/rmt/0mn

What happens when you rewind the tape.
# mt rew

hr1:/# diskinfo /dev/rmt/0mn
diskinfo: can't open /dev/rmt/0mn: No such device or address

You can also try removing and recreating spl files.
# rmsf -H 0/0/0/3/1.1.0
# insf -H 0/0/0/3/1.1.0

Else, if possible put the tape into another drive and see if it works. Might be a hardware issue.

Hi,

# ll /dev/rmt/0mn
# file /dev/rmt/0mn

Is it a device file or did someone overwrite this file?

Regards,
Robert-Jan
