Operating Systems AIX Errpt sensitivity to tape libraries Post 302769133 by MichaelFelt on Monday 11th of February 2013 09:51:12 AM

Long time since I have been able to use tape. Most common cause of sensitivity errors I had was not cleaning the tape head.

Might want to have someone verify that the tape heads are being cleaned regularly AND that approved cleaning materials/tapes are being used.

Hope this helps.

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination] DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des- tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro- duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape. The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example, example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b ATTRIBUTES
