- Netters,
-
- I am a new user on the RS6000. But I dont see a reason why I am not able to
- backup files to tape in the 8mm tape drive.
- On a UNIX machine(Sun SPARC to be specific!) I ran a tar and piped it to a remote shell
- om the AIX machine. The tape doesn't get written and a "write failed" message comes out.
-
- Even a cat file > /dev/rmt0 or a cat file > /dev/rfd0 doesn't work on the AIX m/c.
- But a file or system backup works fine with the SMIT utility.
-
- It will be great if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.
