fbackup references DLT drive. No DLT drive on system
OS: 11.11
HW: HP9000 T520
I have come across a strange phenomenon.
When using fbackup on a system running a 11.11, I'm getting messages that the server "has a DLT that is write protected".
I can assure you that the system in question has no DLT tape drives. We are using DDS2 drives. (Don't even think the server would support DLTs). Also, I can assure you that there is nothing in my backup script that makes reference to DLT.
Here is an excerpt from the actual output:
Starting daily backup on Tdat2 00:53:25
fbackup(1004): session begins on Wed Sep 11 00:53:25 2002
fbackup(3203): volume 1 has been used 1 time(s)
fbackup(3024): writing volume 1 to the output file /dev/Tdat2
fbackup(3203): volume 1 has been used 4 time(s)
fbackup(3024): writing volume 1 to the output file /dev/Tdat1
fbackup(3055): total file blocks read for backup: 11393403
fbackup(3056): total blocks written to output file /dev/Tdat2: 11395602
fbackup(3003): normal EOT
ccchpc06 has a DLT that is write protected
fbackup(3316): enter '^[yY]' when volume 2 is ready on /dev/Tdat1,
or '^[nN]' to discontinue:
fbackup(3205): WARNING: unable to read a volume header
fbackup(3024): writing volume 2 to the output file /dev/Tdat1
fbackup(3003): normal EOT
ccchpc06 has a DLT that is write protected.
Does latest version of fbackup on 11.11 assume that DLT is the only tape drive technology?
Any clues would be appreciated?
Thanks,
Kirk Reindl

Re: fbackup references DLT drive. No DLT drive on system
Hi, Kirk!
I really don't believe that fbackup is able to issue these messages. Are you sure that there is no config file used where a chgvol or error script is specified?
What options do you use with fbackup? Is there a -c option? If yes, what are the contents of that config file?
Regards...
Dietmar.

Thanks Dietmar.
You are absolutely correct. I completely forgot about the chgvol config files.
And yes DLT is hardcoded in there.
