We have been trying to solve a problem with NetApp and they
have not found a solution yet. We are using a Sun system
running Solaris with attached tape drives to backup a filer
remotely using the "dump" command. If you fill up a tape, it
will not go to the next tape in the Sun Autoloader and it fails.
We have been trying to use several different ways of putting
in the tape device to get it to continue to a second tape with
no luck. NetApp seams to be at a loss to how to do it as well.
Here are the commands we have tried: (issued from the Sun system "jaguar")
(/dev/rmt/2cn is the tape drive in the autoloader set to sequencial)
rsh landrover dump 0uf jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn,/dev/rmt/2cn /vol/vol0/processes
rsh landrover dump 0uf jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn,,jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn /vol/vol0/processes
There are several others. If anyone has one that works for sure, please
let me know. Thanks.
