I've been happily vdumping an advfs file system onto 2 and sometimes 3
DLT tapes in a DLT4700 stacker. When the first tape is full, vdump
prompts for a second tape which I insert using the mcutil tape changer
commands and vdump continues.
It has now become necessary to restore some files and after a while
vrestore prompts for the next tape and after changing the tape I get
the following message
vrestore: Change Tapes: Mount tape# 0002
vrestore: Press RETURN when tape is mounted...
vrestore: can't open device file </dev/rmt1h>; [13] Permission denied
vrestore: do you want to retry?
vrestore will not accept the second tape in the changer. It makes no
difference whether I use mcutil or the buttons.
I've done 2-tape restores when we had a single DLT drive. Is there some
way I can stop the changer/drive from getting confused.
System is an AlphaServer 2100 5/250 running DU 4.0D
thanks
Richard
