Chaos... make_recovery problems....

[deCG]

I got 4 systems didn't OS backup...

I figured out what were wrong with two of four systems.

System A has local backup tape device which is connected correctly. But it keeps giving me this error.


systemA $ make_tape_recovery -AvI -a \
/dev/rmt/1m
...
ERROR: Failed to open tape device /dev/rmt/1mn:Permission denied (errno =
13).
ERROR: Check tape device failed.

Tape device is configured this way...
What could be the problem?
Should I manual configure the device?

(Well System B is in similar situation but it is also connected to backup tape library just to make my life more complicated.)

The media is write-protected. Write-enable the tape and give it a shot again.

Well now it gives this error... I don't know what is wrong... ERRRRRR!!

Device file should be 1mn, not only 1m.

"n" for "no rewind".
