Hi, list. I have a problem using db2tapemgr on db2/Linux. While testing the log archive into a tape device and its removal from disk by using db2tapemgr, this is what I get:
> db2tapemgr db lnxges store on /dev/rtibm0 force eject Parameter error. Reason: "DBT2112N Device "/dev/rtibm0" is not a tape device.". This is specially strange since /dev/rtibm0 certainly IS a tape device. For example, I can tar a file into tape with no problem at all (same userid: db2inst1) > l total 8742968 drwxrwxr-x 4 db2inst1 db2grp1 4096 2007-03-19 18:17 ./ drwxr-x--- 7 db2inst1 db2grp1 4096 2006-06-02 08:42 ../ -rw-r----- 1 db2inst1 db2grp1 438873 2007-03-07 16:16 db2rbind.log > whoami db2inst1 > tar -cvf /dev/rtibm0 db2rbind.log db2rbind.log > So, it's not a matter of permissions because I DO CAN use the tape device for other purposes (tar) but for some reason db2tapemgr does not recognize /dev/rtibm0 as a tape device. Therefore the /dev/rtibm0 tape device DOES exist. These are other info about the tape device: Setting device 0.0.0800 online Done TapeNo BusID CuType/Model DevType/Model BlkSize State Op MedState 0 0.0.0800 3590/50 3590/11 auto UNUSED --- LOADED Does anyone know about this problem ? Any help will be very welcome. Thanks in advance, Raul Baron CALCULO S.A.
