Frecover errors

[Jeff Jarrells]

I tried to run frecover on my backup system now I have an error frecover ( 5402 ). And cant get back to command prompt. Anyone have an idea?

hi,

did you try to rewind?

# mt -f /dev/rmt/ rew

then perform frecover.

by the way, do you mind sending the frecover command you have executed? also, what is the latest patch on frecover?

# what /usr/sbin/frecover

regards.

We usually runn it on our backup accounting system after the backup has finished on our primary.

The command is just
frecover.dbms

Strange that command: frecover.dbms.
Are you sure that it is not a script?
If yes then post it.

Best regards,

I think I have found the problem. We have two HPs on a switch so you can go from one to the other. I think the switch has stopped working. I can't get to HP1 or HP2 and there are no lights on the switch.

Thanks for all your replies.

Hi Jeff,

Have you made any changes to the hardware recently? This error can be seen if the device cannot be opened or identified.

You really need to look at the script that you've run to see what other commands are run.
