okay, i think this is my problem, because im doing every command correct
and im still getting:
ANR8335I 022: Verifying label of 3570 volume 3121CF in drive TAPEDRIVE2
(/dev/rmt0).
ANR8353E 022: I/O error reading label of volume in drive TAPEDRIVE2
(/dev/rmt0).
so how do i upgrade to the most recent code level?
thanks, i appreciate it,
alex
