Now that I can see my libraries, I can not use them (see SUMMARY:Tape
configuration problems).
I suspect that the problems I am having is still a configuration issue. I
can not write
to ether of the tape drives without getting an I/O error, [5] using vdump
and tar.
I used MAKEDEV tz24 tz26 to create the *rmt* files which allowed me to
access the tapes
(see tape movement). What's strange is when I do a "file /dev/rmt0h or
/dev/rmt1h", I
get the following.
# file /dev/rmt0h
/dev/rmt0h: character special (9/49154) SCSI #3 EXB-8505 tape #35 (SCSI
ID #0) (SCSI LUN #0) errors = 0/3254 61000_bpi
# file /dev/rmt1h
/dev/rmt1h: character special (9/51202) SCSI #3 EXB-8505 tape #37 (SCSI
ID #2) (SCSI LUN #0) errors = 0/6511 61000_bpi
Notice the Tape #'s. Shouldn't they be 24 and 26? Also, below is what I get
when I try to
get a status of one of the tape drives.
Thanks,
Calvin
