the one i got here is ;

make_tape_recovery -l -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0m

this is the result ...

/-> make_tape_recovery -l -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/c0t2d0BEST

Hi,

Use a no rewind device

/opt/ignite/bin/make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/0mn

[Rasheed Tamton · Accepted solution]

You can use the lssf command to see the information about a specific device file. Below it shows the tape device info - AT&T no rewind and Berkeley no rewind

# lssf /dev/rmt/0mn
tape2 card instance 0 SCSI target 4 SCSI LUN 0 at&t no rewind best density available at address 0/0.4.0 /dev/rmt/0mn

# lssf /dev/rmt/0mnb
tape2 card instance 0 SCSI target 4 SCSI LUN 0 berkeley no rewind best density available at address 0/0.4.0 /dev/rmt/0mnb

Dear hashmi,

Use following command only.

make_tape_recovery -A

Hi,

The problem is not with command . I you
are using /dev/rmt/0mn there is no need to specify this device. Before running the recovery check the status of drive and tape.

lssf /dev/rmt/0mn

mt -rw

make_tape_recovery -l -v -x inc_entire=vg00

Hi

Need to check for the tape device first!Also can rewind the tape from begining:
Resuming the tape device's file:/dev/rmt/0mn

#mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew

Do this command and you will have whole vg00 data:
#make_tape_recovery -v -A -I -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

Shalom,

You run:
make_tape_recovery -l -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0m

I run without specifying the device since /dev/rmt/0m is the default anyway.

Assuming all the devices are still present this will solve the problem. Otherwise, you may need to insf -e the system again.

Thanks guys ..

really apreaciate this info

tqvm ;)

I think the key is target
You should use
#make_tape_recovery -A /dev/rmt/0mn
0mn is rewind device


Other devices will support other function, such as:
dev/rmt/c4t1d0BESTn is rewind device with best density available

General; n mean rewind device
