  • 1.  AIX 4.2.1 Tape Drive Problem

    Hi,

    The problem I have is I want to restore my AIX machine. I have created a mksysb tape from my tape drive rmt0 and I changed the bootlist using this command "bootlist -m normal rmt0 hdisk0".

    However, when I display the bootlist "bootlist -om normal", it shows '-' hdisk0. I googled and found this :If a device specified in the boot list is no longer present on the system, a `-' is displayed instead of a name.

    I can use my tape drive to create a mksysb tape successfully and its state is available after doing a lsdev -Cc tape.

    So my question is how do I resolved this? Thanks
