ITEM: DJ7246L

sbdevice: No such file or directory

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2.1
  RISC 390 (server) and 7043 (43p-240)
  sysback 4.1.2
  Tape 8mm 5gb 7208-011

Problem:
  When trying to recreate logical volumes or volume groups 
  remotely, sysback fails with this message:

\# remakevg -v -h mars -f /dev/rmt0 myvg
Rewinding /dev/rmt0 ...

sbdevice: Cannot open /dev/rmt0
sbdevice: No such file or directory

Action Taken:
  I determined the problem to be with the /usr/sbin/remakevg 
  script.  I changed the following line:

-h) hostname=$2; hostopt="-i $2"; shift; shift;;

========================
It should be changed to 
========================

-h) hostname=$2; hostopt="-h $2"; shift; shift;;

    NOTE:  Change "-i $2"  to  "-h $2"

Once I changed the line in the /usr/sbin/remakevg script
it fixed the problem.

This will be included in sysback.rte 4.1.2.1

Action Plan:
  Closing with customer approval
