Hi

Did you rewind the tape before you attempted to create the archive ? The system is complaining about insufficent space on the tape

mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew

Hello,

It's a known problem. Install PHSS_27406 to fix it or you can install the ignite version :B.3.8.201 available at www.software.hp.com.

Hi

It seemed make_tape_recovery failed to write your tape....
Or do you have enough space under /var ?

Good Luck

This patch should fix this problem

This is for 11.11 version

What version of hpux you are running?

From the output of your attachment, there is a file that gets generated under /var/tmp whilst it generates the necessary LIF file to place on the tape. This is usually somewhere around 50Mb. This will cause this error to occur, if your /var filesystem fills up.

hi, i'm running on HP-UX 11.0 and the ignite version should be B.3.7.95 if i'm not mistaken...

Hi,

There is a problem with this version.
Install an newer one.
