Tape backup operations on illumos/OmniOS
— PriyadarshanI was able to finalise installation of tape backup drive, a Tandberg (IBM) LTO-8, on the LISP server.
On that machine, is it available as
/dev/dsk/c3t0025385971B16535d0p0, and more simply as /dev/rmt/0.
- To see status
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status - To erase tape:
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 erase - To rewind tape:
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 offline
Of course, see man mt for more.
