Ignite & Selective file Restoration

[RAC_1]

I have prepared the ignite recovery tape on 11.00 -A class on dds3.
I am trying to do a selective file restoration by following bellow mentioned steps.

1 make_recovery -Acvd /dev/rmt/0m
2 mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsr 1
3 I can list tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0mn
4 But - tar -xv etc/passwd or any other file fails-it just hangs in there.

Tape ends and gives error as end of tape reached.

Any clue on this?
Thanks in advance

Hi

Usualy I am using "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1"
and not fsr option.
Did you try it ?

Hi

you need a rewind on the tape or eject it and put it back in.

mt -rew

mt -f /dev/rmt/0m -rew
