Started an frecover from Sam, with a recovery scope and a different destination.
Here is what is happening.
Starting file recovery...
frecover(5423): incorrect volume mounted;
frecover(5424): expected volume 1, and got 2
frecover(5433): Do you wish to continue using this volume? (^[yY]/^[nN]) y
frecover(5434): attempting to resynchronize after volume header
Nothing seems to be happening. I've been waiting about a half hour. No new files, and the frecover process is in sleep mode with little to no cpu usage.
Any ideas on what is going on, or what I can do to find out if it is actually working?

We have about 7 years worth of data which used the HP fbackup utility. Is there any utility to read these tapes on Solaris? The goal is to create new tapes using Legato.
Do we need to download them to a box first using frecover, then copy them from SUN using Legato?

pvremove
pvremove(1M) pvremove(1M)
NAME
pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command clears the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume. The device may then be used by the
file system or by other volume managers.
The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group. The command only clears the LVM data structure on a disk if the disk
does not belong to a volume group. This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group. If the physical volume
to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume.
Arguments
recognizes the following arguments:
pv_path The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)).
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)).
EXAMPLES
Remove LVM data structure on the physical volume
