SolutionI know that you want a bootable tape but remember that you have the make_net_recovery option.

Re: Problems writing to tape - tar works, make_tape_recovery doesn't
mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn status
give you, I'd also be interested in the default tape block size for the device (if you happen to know it).

Re: Problems writing to tape - tar works, make_tape_recovery doesn't
In this case the issue was related to
SCSI cable length.

Re: Problems writing to tape - tar works, make_tape_recovery doesn't
mt -t /dev/rmt/0m status
Drive: HP C1537A
Format: DDS-3 format
Status: [1112500] online compression immediate-report-mode
File: 0
Block: 1072
Looking at the other thread, I get past the pax check without errors. The only errors I get up to the failure is one for:
vxvm:vxprint: ERROR: IPC failure: Configuration daemon is not accessible.

Re: Problems writing to tape - tar works, make_tape_recovery doesn't
1. Have you tried swapping the media with a new one or in case you don't have a new media, can you try and use it on the other server where things seem to be working OK ?
2. Did you try it out in the single user mode ( when you had the DDS3 replaced ) ? If not, can you try it out in the next maintenance window .
