archecker X remote tape

Hi, IDS 11.50 FC8 - Aix 5.3 (and 6.1) I'm trying execute a table level restore , using a remote tape (host:/dev/rmt0) But the archecker don't resolv the path to remote tape : ERROR: Error(2) opening tape device(host:/dev/rmt0) STATUS: Scan FAILED STATUS: archecker completed Physical Restore pid = 352490 exit code: 3 rsh works fine between the machines... hosts.equiv is ok (machine what have the tape dev). There is no documentation saying the archecker don't support this... any tips?

If you check the manual or infocenter for the definition of AC_TAPEDEV under archecker configuration section you will see the following line. Please note that it says "local device". Specifies the local device name used by the ontape utility.

Hi John, Thanks for your answer. This is what I found on the Info Center v11.50 Archecker configuration: ----------- AC_LTAPEDEV Specifies the local device name used by ontape for reading logical logs. AC_TAPEDEV Specifies the device name used by the ontape utility. ------------- AC_TAPEDEV parameter Default value None Range Any valid path name or STDIO The AC_TAPEDEV configuration parameter specifies the device name used by the ontape utility. If the tape device is set to STDIO, archecker receives input from standard input. Parent topic: Configuration parameters ---------------- I not sure if who wrote the page of the Archecker misinterpret the "L"tapedev , as Local device.... Or if just missing the Local device to AC_TAPEDEV... So, the TAPEDEV , what I need , don't saying anything about "local device". Reading this, for me still without clear documentation about archecker support remote tape.
