Is it possible to use a remote tape drive with OnBar and ISM? Has anybody done this? I'd like to do something similar as with ontape, ie reference the remote device with TAPEDEV onconfig parameter and a trust between machines. I've tried a few things, but can't get the local ism daemon to recognize a remote device either from Unix command line or with the client Informix Storage Manager. Any ideas? (Last time Officer Friendly pulled me over I handed him the vehicle registration. He then said, "Got any ID?" "'bout what?" I asked back. Wife bailed me out at the precinct). Using IDS 7.31.UC-4 on Solaris 2.7/Intel (don't ask).

Other, more complete, storage managers may be able to.
