mt -fsf 0 but it gives me the following error message.

Solutionthe default for the mt command is /dev/nrmt0h tape drive
Check the name of your tape drive, if it is not nrmt0h, then the command would be
mt -f /dev/nrmt0h fsf n
By the way, there is not fsf 0, fsf means it will go through the tape and stop after the n-th file marker
Check the man mt

Re: mt -fsf command
You have some options:
check the name of the tape drive, make sure it is nrmt0h
check the tape itself ( issue command mt -f tape_drive status) and see if there is output, it may be a bad tape, replace it and try again.
may be there is only one saveset on the tape, try writing 2 save set and try mt fsf 1 again

Re: mt -fsf command
run command
/sbin/vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /
then
/sbin/vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /usr
then
mt rewind
then
mt fsf 1
then
vrestore -i
then
ls
you should see the /usr files that were backed up
