We recently installed a new scsci hba & tape drive to replace older
equipment..
 
The parts configured fine on the system, can see the devices etc.
Backing up the system using vdump went fine (see part of the log below),
but when trying to do a restore, no matter how far we advance the tape
to the next file system, it always shows trying to restore the root
fileset (/):

Here's a snippit of the vdump log (backup the actual /, /usr & /var
filesets and clone the other 8 filesets).. we do full backups. Any idea
where I can look to find what the issue is? When I try to advance the
tape, I do a "mt fsf 3" (to get to the first cloned fileset).. vrestore
-l lists the root fileset.. our procedure hasn't changed..just the 2
devices..

The name of the modified device is /dev/ntape/tape1c
path : /
dev/fset : root_domain#root
