Ultrium 2/20 tar command
I am just trying to do some checking on my new
Ultrium 2/20 tape drive. I load a tape into the drive
and type the command
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0m /tmp
I keep receiving the error
" cannot open /dev/rmt/0m "
This is the only tape drive I have on this system
any ideas???

Re: Ultrium 2/20 tar command
Two things to start with:
First, does the drive and device
appear in your
# ioscan -fnkC tape
output and
Is the tape compatible with the drive?

Re: Ultrium 2/20 tar command
Is this the 2/20 tape library with 1 Ultrium drive or 2 Ultrium drives?

Re: Ultrium 2/20 tar command
From your information you have 1/20 tape library with 1 Ultrium drive in it.
In order to start a tar, an Ultrium tape cartidge must be inserted in the drive. Enter a cartidge through the mailslot and then move the cartidge to the drive. Afterwards, you can perform the tar backup.
Now, to move a tape to and from a drive, use the mc command.
Do a man mc for information on it.
Example, to move a tape cartidge from slot 2 to the drive, type:
mc -s S2 -d D1
HTH,
Vince
