9335.0. "Restore problems" by SCASS1::TURNERG () Mon Mar 31 1997 11:42

    I had a customer who we changed their disk configuration and when
    we tried to restore the data we kept getting RESTORE RESYNC ,s
    and CHECKSUMM errors on files the dump looked to be corrupted. The
    OS is 3.2D-2 no patches applied. The dump command the customer used was:
    
    dump -0uf /dev/rmt0h -b 32 /
    
    My restore command I used was:
    cd /
    restore -xv
    
    I checked the error log on the system the tape drive didn't log any 
    errors. So what happened here. The customer ask me is there any way
    he could have verified his dump's before this had happened. I answered
    I'll ask you guys.

    I found the problem this customer is has 5 2100's running 3.2d-2 and
    they have TLZ09's in them. We were using /dev/rmt0h, well I guess that
    version of Unix doesn't support rmt0h with the TLZ09 we tried it using
    /dev/rmt0a and we were able to restore dumps that were made using
    rmt0a.
