I am trying to restore a backup taken on my production machine to my
disaster recovery server. When I initiate my BMC SQL-Backtrack recovery I
receive the below error. Also in the db2diag.log I get the Media
controller error. I would appreciate any help!!!!

SQL2025N An I/O error "11" occurred on media "VENDOR"


Media controller -- Failed to init vendor device after end of media warning

DB2 UDB 7.2 fp11 - AIX 5.1

Have you right access permission on media ?

To the best of my knowledge I do. I chmod the backup dataset to 777 to eliminate that as a possible problem. Are there other system level priviledges that I should be concerned with?

If I take a back up from the same server and restore that to a different instance it works fine. I tried that just for kicks.
