Hi,
I need to create bootable tape for ours server (AIX 4.2).
When I do:
# mksysb -i /dev/rmt0
I receive following error message:
Backing up 41524 filesbackup: 0511-432 A write error occurred: A system call received a parameter that is not valid.
backup: 0511-079 The backup media may be damaged.
Use a different disk to run the backup.
0512-005 mksysb: Backup Completed.
The backup command completed with errors.
The messages displayed on Standard Error contained additional
information.
Tape is good (new one), "tar" command works fine... any suggestions???
p.s.
