Hi Mehul,

ioscan -fnC tape shows your "tape" at

/dev/rmt/1mn

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn -x inc_entire=vg00 -A -v -I

suspecting your command is not correct or could be selecting invalid path for the tape

hope this helps,

Thanks,
Johnson

Hi,

It is very clear that you don't have the tape drive at device path /dev/rmt/0mn.

In this situation you will have to specity the available device which is /dev/rmt/1mn.

#make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -I -v -a /dev/rmt/1mn

Hi,

Forget to mention, when you give just make_tape_recovery -A command alone it will try to use the default device /dev/rmt/0mn. That is why you are getting the error.

Problem has been resovled by giving make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn
