vrestore a selected file that's in 2nd volume of tape

Hi,


Our daily vdump backup takes 2 tapes/day.

I tried to vrestore a file that's on Volume 2
of the tape & ran into this :
(believe we can't just load Volume 2 but has
 to put in Volume 1 first)

ssgp09_root >>>tp=/dev/ntape/tape0c; export tp
ssgp09_root >>>mt -f $tp fsf 8
ssgp09_root >>>vrestore -i $tp

vrestore: rewinding tape



The file to restore is in 2nd volume but I believe
I have to go thru the 1st volume (which the "ls"
command showed the file is there).

What have I missed?


Thanks,
