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?

Hi All,
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?

NAME
vgremove - remove LVM volume group definition from the system
SYNOPSIS
vg_name ...
Remarks
If a combination of volume groups version 1.0 and 2.0 or higher arguments are supplied, then the arguments might not be processed in the
order they are listed on the command line.
DESCRIPTION
The command removes from the system the last physical volume of the volume group and the definition of the volume group or groups specified
by vg_name .... Since all system knowledge of the volume group and its contents are removed, the volume group can no longer be accessed.
To move a volume group from one system to another, use the command instead (see vgexport(1M)).
Before executing remove all logical volumes residing on the last physical volume by executing (see lvremove(1M)).
Before removing a volume group, two steps are necessary:
1. Remove all the logical volumes belonging to the group by using the command (see lvremove(1M)).
2. Remove all but one physical volume belonging to the volume group by using the command (see vgreduce(1M)).
If there is any physical volume group created under vg_name ..., the physical volume group information is also removed from file
Options and Arguments
recognizes the following option and argument:
For each volume group removed, also
remove its volume group directory and file
vg_name The path name of a volume group.
