Hi,
I have a cluster with 2 IBM pSeries 650 nodes with AIX 5.1.
I made a backup with smitty mksysb to tape on node 1 and I have tried to restore from this tape to node 2.
I followed this procedure when booting from tape on node 2:
1. Boot in service mode
2.Next I choose option "3 Start Maintenance Mode for System Recovery" then "4 Install from a System Backup"
3. I choose HDD for rootvg restoration.
4. Installation is working for 9% then I receive the following error:
"
Installing Base Operating System

If you used the system key to select SERVICE mode,
turn the system key to the NORMAL position any time before the
installation ends.

Please wait...

cannot open /dev/rmt0.1: No such device or address
Please mount volume 1 on /dev/rmt0.1
...and press Enter to continue
Approximate Elapsed time
% tasks complete (in minutes)


9 17 3% of mksysb data restored.
"

I have tried with different tapes but I have received the same error.
Any idea about this error?
