Hi buffonix & Ralph

Thanks again for the reply. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I will be looking on the HP ITRC and the links you provided me to see what I can find.

I did look into the Manual for this model, but not much joy. To access the maintenance mode, one needs to be login and get to the prompt and then change the run level to a desired mode (init 0 and so on). The problem I am facing is the initial interaction with ISL and to my mind it was caused by playing up with file permissions.

To give a better picture, this machine has 2 disks vg00 (root disk), vg01(a practice disk) and a floppy and a CD drive. I bought it form a "used HP" dealer 400 - 500 miles away from where I live on the Net, not subject to any support after sale. Once I regained access I will be looking how I can master creating a disaster recovery tape and Ignite tape so that I am able to reinstall the whole OS. I do not know about "streamer" what is it?

I can appreciate both of you are more competent with Sun than HP and the same time thanks again for all the hints and help. Let's I hope, I be in the position of giving you the good news that I am sorted.

Kind regards

MH

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

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
