Hai...

Your are using Tape drive or Tape library,

If you are using Tape library, your tape is not loaded in the Drive, if it is already loaded, just clean it or try to load another tape and start it again.

If you are using the Tape Drive, just clean the Tape drive with the cleaning cartridge or replace with other.

Hi

Check the following

1. make sure rsh works properly

2. Tape drive is connect and can be accesses for the server in which it is connect

3. When u run initialize, check the tape drive is not off-line ( tape drive goes off-line if it is idle)

4.Try to rewind using os commands

5.Check initsid.sap file properly configured.

hope this helps

Hi,

Try the following mathod

1. Login through <SID>adm user

2. initialize the tape with following command

brbackup -i force -n 1 -v SCRATCH

3. it will initialize the tape .Then try to take backup through db13 .

4. also check you have authorization to take backup .

5. Clean the tape if require .

May be it will use full for you

Open failed: Cannot Establish Connection

First of all make sure that the tape drive is working / is accessible from operating system / hardware.

Correct device name, and the like...

[former_member204746]

as OS level, login as crpadm, then try this command:

rsh sapprod -l oracrp /bin/sh

it must work in order to make DB13 work.

if not, check rsh permissions.

hi,

fire command brbackup -q and get the tape no.

Initialising tape:

brbackup -c -i force -v <tapeno>

if still facing the error change the Tape volume.

In brtools change the tape volum lable & try again to initialize.
