IGNITE / Make recovery

Hi,

Currently, we are doing make recovery in our servers but dds tape drive of 1 of our servers is not working. I suppose to use external dds tape drive but the problem is that there is no slot from the server for the scsi type external dds device. Is it possible to use drives from other servers? how?

Thank you so much in advance.

Tris
