tar: [offset 0]: I/O error

Hi,

When trying to install JetDirect on a 10.20 system, we get the following error.

tar: [offset 0]: I/O error

This error once we got in the analysis phase. On trying a second time, it proceeded and installed some filesets (2 of 4) in the execution phase and then gave the same error.

Is this a common error, and what are its reasons. We're installin from tape and swlist output from the tape is fine.

Regards,

-Alvi

It looks like tape error.

Can u down load this software from ITRC and then try installing it

I suspect the (Some of the Filesets) software you have in Tape is corrupt. Why don't you try installing another copy as suggested by kapil.
