Re: Using Ontape with remote tape devices. - Urgent

System A (where Informix instance resides) System B (where tape drive resides) 1. Establish 2-way .rhosts connectivity for user=informix from each system to the other. Test by running: "remsh systemb ll (from system A). It is working if it does not ask for a pw. 2. Set TAPEDEV on system A to: systemb:/dev/rmt/0m (or whatever). 3. ontape -s 4. It will ask to mount the tape on systemb. You will see that it runs "dd" | remsh or something like that. If it fails and you want to rerun, you'll have to manually "mt -t tapedev rew" on systemb.
