We recently installed IDS9.40UC6, what's strange is that when using "ontape -l" to rollforward logical logs the tape number prompt is always "tape 1" when there are multiple volume of tapes. On IDS9.30 it was "tape 2, 3, 4, etc". Since we have some other issues with ontape I would like to know whether this is normal behaviour for IDS9.40UC6 The OS version is Solaris 8. misac9shm@osun9071:/mis/a00/users/informix)ontape -l Roll forward should start with log number 5 Please mount tape 1 on /mis/a05/backup/misac9/llog/misac9-ltapedev and press Return to continue ...
