Hi all,

I have the problem above - see the attachment. Is the tape still usable?

many thanks in advance,
ionut

Looks OK to me.

The only problem is that some hparray log files that existed at the start of the operation didn't exist when pax actually got around to copying them to tape. I don't think they are going to cause you any problem should you need to re-build from this tape.

It sure doesn't look like the tape is useable:

"The medium in the device is flawed. If the medium is removable, replace
the medium with a fresh one.

Alternatively, if the medium is not removable, the device has experienced
a hardware failure. Repair or replace the device, as necessary."

Sorry, Ionut, I was looking at the wrong log file. Those are just warnings about temporary files that aren't there anymore when the time came to actually back them up. Nothing to worry about.

It should be OK. you just miss the following files:
/var/opt/hparray/log/AMM94920
/var/opt/hparray/log/AMM94921
/var/opt/hparray/log/AMM94922
/var/opt/hparray/log/AMM94923

Hi Ionut,

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000069507321

Document description: Could not read the /etc/resolv.conf file and make_tape_recovery
Document id: UIUXKBRC00013161

The other warnings are about files listed when the ignite process begun but are no longer on the system when the archive started (tempfiles)

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Hi,

yes, I think the tape is still usable.
Problem colud be about configuration of your HP-UX system.
Anyway could you post the make_tape_recovery command that you are using?
