Severd_Nerv,
This is TOTALLY irrelevant with the current thread, sorry.
The thread is:

. If you wanted to restore a file from that second dump, you would first need to "mt fsf" to get there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I "ufsdump" many file systems as you said one after the other using the no rewind optionbut when I do a restore I use 'ufsrestore si (Number)' and restore the appropriate file system.
What do you mean by that ??

. You better specify the no rewind when you do. Then for the restore, you could use an auto-rewind special file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your help

Hi all,
Sometimes, when I reboot my AIX server, my tape drive /dev/rmt# assignments change. This creates some tedious TSM work prior to and after a reboot of the server.
Is there a way to ensure that the /dev/rmt# assignments come up the same every time?
Thanks (5 Replies)

rewind
rewind(3C) Standard C Library Functions rewind(3C)
NAME
rewind - reset file position indicator in a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
void rewind(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The call:
rewind(stream)
is equivalent to:
(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
except that rewind() also clears the error indicator.
RETURN VALUES
The rewind() function returns no value.
ERRORS
Refer to fseek(3C) with the exception of EINVAL which does not apply.
USAGE
Because rewind() does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should clear errno, then call rewind(), and if errno is
non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
ATTRIBUTES
