Hi all:
After several frustrating hours going around the HP site looking for info; I
thought I would try here, before I start pounding on my mouse.
Recently picked up an HP SureStore DAT40 drive, model C5687A. Thought it
would be a great improvement over my EXB-8200. Hooked it to my Sparc 20,
running Solaris 7. Went into the st.conf file and uncommented the line for
'HPDAT'. The system recognized the drive. I used 'mt' to erase and then
retension a tape, that has only been used about 3 times. That went okay.
But when I tried the 'ufsdump' with the verify option, the backup fails
every time. "Verification error 42 feet into tape 1." If I select yes to
retry the backup, the distance into the tape changes, but the backup never
succeeds.
The exact command I use is:
ufsdump afuv /export/home/temp/dumplist /dev/rmt/0m /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
Anybody have any insights as to what is going wrong?
TIA for any help, and I will summarize.
