Hi, requirement is simple. Two servers exist on RHEL 3.0. The tape drive is connected to server B. The databases are on server A. We want a direct access to the tape drive on server B from server A. This way we will be able to do online backups direct to the server B tape drive from server A databases. Redhat support informed that this is not possible, i.e., tape drives cannot be shared across the network. I am very sure this is possible. This is a requirement which every multi-server organization will have and linux is more than capable of doing this! Do provide your inputs. Bottom line, how do I share my tape drive on the network (for linux servers only). Thanks! amar
