Ignite

[tayal_sumit]

Hi All,

I am taking Ignite backup through make_tape_recovery command and after backup if i am checking what is backing up in the tape
through /usr/bin/tar tvf /dev/rmt/0m command it gives me Tar blocksize=4 and directory checksum error.

So, please suggest me how to check what is backed up in the tape through command line.

regards,

At the beginning of the tape is the boot loader - this is not part of the tar archive.

Use

check_tape_recovery


or

# mt -f /dev/rmt/?mn rew
# mt -f /dev/rmt/?mn fsf 1
# tar -tvf /dev/rmt/?mn

(for pa-risc systems)

For Itanium, you need fsf 22.

Can you please try using :
mt -f /dev/rmt/0m status
if that is Ok, then please do
mt -f /dev/rmt/0m rewind
and try.
