Tnx for the post.
I did not use any software to write to the tape. I made use of the tar command to write to the tape on AIX Server.
The backup command used was "tar cvf /dev/rmt2 /mybackup
Now viewing the tape from the RHEL5 (x86) server gives input /output error using the command: tar tvf optimum@10.0.0.1: /dev/rmt2
Error: Cannot open: Input/output error
tar:Error is not recoverable: exiting now
where 10.0.0.1 is the IP address of the AIX server
Note not real IP address)
I also tried the following command: tar tvf /dev/rmt2
Error: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Hope to get the feedback soonest. Tnx
