UFSDUMP help
Hi
Sorry but i'm new to Solaris and need some help i can get here. Regarding about the file system backup using the 'ufsdump' command, i have some problem which seems that i couldn't backup to tape.
1. Scan for tape device:
Oracle(root)#/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan tape
/dev/sg/c0t1l0: (/dev/rmt/1): "QUANTUM DLT8000"
/dev/sg/c2t4l0: (/dev/rmt/0): "HPC1537A"
2. Checking for the tape configuration:
Oracle(root)#/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -d
Index DriveName DrivePathTypeSharedStatus
***** ********* **************************
0HPC1537A0 /dev/rmt/0cbn4mmNoUP
1QUANTUMDLT80000/dev/rmt/1cbndltNoUP
TLD(0) DefinitionDRIVE=1
Currently defined robotics are:
TLD(0)robotic path = /dev/sg/c0t0l0,
volume database host = oracle
Standalone drive volume database host = oracle
3. Run command to backup the file system:
Oracle(root)#/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0fuv /dev/rmt/1 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
DUMP: Writing 32 kilobytes records
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon March 13 12:00:42 2006
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: The epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 (oracle:/) to /dev/rmt/1cbn
DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: Estimated 3078058 blocks (1502.63 MB)
DUMP: NEEDS ATTENTION: Cannot open 'Oracle:/dev/rmt/1cbn'. Do you want to retry the open?: ("Yes" or "No") yes
DUMP: NEEDS ATTENTION: Cannot open 'Oracle:/dev/rmt/1cbn'. Do you want to retry the open?: ("Yes" or "No") no
DUMP: The entire dump is aborted.
4. Checking the status of the backup tape:
Oracle(root)# mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status
/dev/rmt/1: no tape loaded or drive offline
* I even tried with other options but returns the same output. e.g /dev/rmt/1cbn
Does the tape need to mounted? How do i mount the tapes since it doesn't mount automatically?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
