WARRANTY EXTENDED UNTIL:
N/A
SYMPT(J.f:
An
"End of File Error" is reported when using a sy.stem initiated
full volume "copy data" routine to restore the entire volume from
tape to disc.
CAUSE:
A firmware bug reports an End of File error although the copy data
operation will complete with no loss of data.
SOLUTION:
The following workarounds will prevent this error:
HW/rl
9320-4766 (1/8:3t
If copy data is initiated with a length parameter (other than a-I)
then the operation will complete without error.
If a full volume copy data from the tape to the disc is initiated by
the "From Tape" push button, then the operation will complete without
error.
If the restore tape was
cre~ted
without an End-of-File mark then a syste
initiated copy data routine to restore the entire volume from tape to
. disc will complete without error.
This bug appears with the following 9000 system utilities:
Series 200
Basic 3.0 TAPE BACKUP
(Rev C)
Pascal 3.0 TAPEBKUP (Version 3.0)
HPUX 2.1 SYSTEM T8 (Rev 2.0)
Series SOO
-
Basic 2.0 DISC BACKUP
(Rev 2.1)

This bug is not serious enough to warrant a firmware revision.
