Hi, Iam doing a restore on an HP-UX 11 The tape operator has cdleaned the drive and mounted the tape .... But when I run "ontape -p" , it gives :- Please mount tape 1 on /dev/rmt/0m and press Return to continue ... Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -1 errno 13 Here are TAPE config parameters of the target system:- TAPEDEV /dev/rmt/0m TAPEBLK 16 TAPESIZE 40000000 Are there any specific solutions to these "errno" 13 ? if yes, where are they documented ? Regards, San

Hi, You should check your permissions for the /dev/rmt/0m device. Was your archive on the same device and was it OK?

Hi, on HP-UX, errno 13 is EACCESS (see /usr/include/sys/errno.h). So the meaning is that access rights are somehow not suitable for your purpose.

You are getting this warning because Primary server is trying to connect to Secondary, but secondary is not yet initialized. You can ignore it, or wait for secondary to restore from backup before you register HDR on primary (onmode -d primary sec_server). -Ajay
