tape problem

[rmolendijk]

Hi there,

I have the following problem.

Im very new to this so i hope someone can help me out here


$ init/media_format=compaction mka200: 123456
$mount/foreign/block=65534/media_format=compaction/cache=tape_data mka200:
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, 123456 mounted on _ALFA$MKA200:
$ back/ign=(int,label)/block=65534/media_format=compaction userdata:[inlog.st*.*]*.*.* mka200:uniwrk.bck/save/fast
$ set def mka200:
$ dir
%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening MKA200:[000000]*.*;* as input
-SYSTEM-F-NOTFILEDEV, device is not file structured

this happens when i use a brand new tape...

the new tapes are the same as the old ones DLT3

what am i doing wrong ?

hope someone can help me out here,

thx

Hi,
You can't do a directory operation on a device that is mounted FOREIGN, such as you are try to do in the tape above.

If you want to see the saveset sitting on the tape, do the following:

Remove from "set def" command onwards, include:
$ DISMOUNT/NOUNLOAD MKA200:
$ WAIT 00:02:00 ! wait two mins for tape to rewind...
$ MOUNT/OVER=ID MKA200:
$ DIR/DAT/SIZ:ALL MKA200:*.*
$ DISMOUNT/NOUNLAOD MKA200
