BRBACKUP - Unable to init tape
any ideas on the message below, I've checked permissions and the init<sid>.sap files....
the tape drive is set to block 0 (using smit on AIX).
--------------------------
BR202I Saving /oracle/QAS/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0
BR203I to /dev/rmt0.1 ...
BR278W Command output of 'LANG=C cd /oracle/QAS/sapbackup && echo .tape.hdr0 | LANG=C cpio -ovB > /dev/rmt0.1':
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
sh: /dev/rmt0.1: 0403-005 Cannot create the specified file.

BR279W Return code from 'LANG=C cd /oracle/QAS/sapbackup && echo .tape.hdr0 | LANG=C cpio -ovB > /dev/rmt0.1': 1
BR222W Copying /oracle/QAS/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0 to/from /dev/rmt0.1 failed due to previous errors
BR219W Initialization of volume QASB01 in device /dev/rmt0.1 failed
This has been resolved in a duplicate, drive auth prob.
Have you tried a tar or cpio to the same tape device?
Also, have you checked the permissions of your brbackup file 4755 - ora<SID>:sapsys ?
Duplicate post sorry for the inconvience
problem now solved permission on rmt0.1 incorrect.
