verify make_tape_recovery

[Fabrizio_10]

Good morning guys,

I've made a tape_recovery of my hp-ux 11.11 (make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_entire=vg00) It seems to be done but I see a strange error on tape.
These are my checks:

======= 04/14/04 11:40:12 METDST make_tape_recovery completed successfully!

ux01:/usr/lib # grep -E -i "unsuccessful|error|fail|abort" /var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/recovery.log
ux01:/usr/lib # mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
ux01:/usr/lib # tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0mn
Tar: tape read error
ux01:/usr/lib # tar tv
Tar: tape read error
What is wrong ?
BR,
Fab

Hi,

Did you first rewind the tape?
mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew
mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
tar tvf /dev/rmt/0mn

This should do your trick.
If not I doubt the tape.
Check also if make_tape_recovery is made to this device?

HTH,
Peter

Peter, you win a beer :-)
Thanks for tricks. I forget to rewind a tape.
Have a nice day.
Fab.
