Hi:

I'm not sure what you want. To see the version you have, do:

# swlist | grep -i ignite

Is this what you are after?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this going to work, but you could try "lifls -l" on the tape device file to find out which LIF headers are included on tape.
If I'm correct, an ignite tape consists of a boot block followed by a tar file. You could try the following:

#mt -t rew
#mt -t fsf 1
#tar tvf

If this works, extract a file which contains the information you need (eg. the syslog).

extract the syslog and look at the date.

Use the mt command as shown above.

Bande ignite = ignite tape

Good luck,
Bill

#mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsr 1
#cd /tmp
#tar xv var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
#tail -1 var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

thanks all,

mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew
dd if=/dev/rmt/0m of=/tmp/lif.tape bs=2k
lifls -l /tmp/lif.tape

Best regards.
