I have two DB instances running on two individual nodes on the IBM SP/2 frame. An IBM 3590 tape device attached to one of the node, host1, for the DB archive for both systems. For host1, with the tape device attached directly, TAPEDEV /dev/rmt0 For host2, it is throght the SP/2 switch to the tape device on host1 TAPEDEV host1:/dev/rmt0 How can I unify the TAPEDEV parameter on both system, so I can use the backup of host1 to restore host2? I have no problem to create a symbolic link for /dev/rmt0 on host1, but on host2....?
