Kalyan, When I get an error 2 from a tape device it means that I have reached the end of the tape. Informix does not handle end of tape. What you need to do is reduce the tape size parameter in onmonitor.

We are doing a level 0 archive using ontape. It was working quite fine for a long time. Recently we are getting an error after 90 % of it is done ... The error that we get is Archive failed - function write to tape failed code -1 errno 2. Does anybody know as to what to look for in this case. We are using INFORMIX-OnLine Verson 7.20.UC2 running on solaris 2.5 on a sparc Ultra-2 box. Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks, Kalyan.
