Solaris

ok, that output tells me that the tape drive is already configured and can be used (rmt/0) and your second hdd has c0t1d0 as target device id.

you said that data is on it, do you know on which slice/partition?

e.g.: if you want to mount slice 0 of the new disk on /mnt you could use:

# mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt

gP


btw: how old is that machine with 4,5 GByte disks?

Hi Pressy,

I don't have idea which slice the data reside, anyway I'm planning to use the tape to restore the binaries coz I already seen the binaries in the tape when I ran the tar -tvf. Now my problem is i have to restore this data via network since we have application that will run only on the 5.6 version of sun and these station is running 5.9 so I have to install again. By the way I want to share to you how this things goes on.

First we have a server that being use for designing application all binaries was stored here but the data was placed separately thru external disk now then suddenly the disk crashed and also this server is very sensitive if we reboot this it will take long to up and sometimes we spend more hours just to isolate and have it up. Since I have to install OS 5.6 version frrom scratch and load the binaries from tape, by the way I have spare sun station, here's the model "
SunOS petcdc 5.9 Generic_112233-10 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20" petcdc is my hostname. and i think I dont have any prblem with the hardware in this station because what ever I changed or add peripherals it will work and up so decided to use this now as replacement to the server that having a problem.

I already have the tape and data on it now my problem is to restore this via network using the other station and you know the tape is dated 2005 that means it is very old so i have to make another copy on it on the disk to make it sure it is operational.

Do you know how i'm going to share my directories to the sun station, I mean mount the shared filesystem on the other station so that i can restore the data on the other station?

I hope you could help me
