Currently we have a F720 filer and a ATL Powerstor L500 tape library attached locally. We are running into a issue when we try to dump to multiple tapes. If we use the command below, it is supposed to dump our entire vol0 (90GB of data) to multiple tapes in our tape library.

rsh -l dump 0uf urst0a,urst0a /vol/vol0

Unfortunately, the dump command above backs up to the first tape, then rewinds the tape when it is full but never unloads it. The first tape is then overwritten as the dump continues. The dump command above does not unload the tape and continue the dump onto the second tape in the library. Has anyone else experienced this before, or does anyone have any recommendations to correct the problem?

Thank you, Mike Ball
