Re: ontape -r problems

Sverre, We need some more information about what you're doing, i.e. Are you restoring to a different server? Are you restoring to the same server? What are your onconfig parameters? (esp with regard to tape). Are you trying restore, and getting a failure message? Or, are you getting a system message saying that ontape can't be found. We need something more to chew on. Usually, the ontape -r, should work with little thought - just be sure to remove the current tape and replace it temporarily with a new tape when ontape ask you to back up existing logs.
