You cannot use NFS to make a tape drive available to another machine, what you can do is use something like rsh to send the data from your machine to the tape drive on another machine, look for mentions of rsh in the manpage for tar on your system, an example from: Unix tape archiver (Tar) is:
where boson is the name of the remote machine with the tape drive attached.
For Solaris systems I would add a "c" to the end of the tape device name to denote using tape drive compression, not sure what one would do on AIX.
Hello all,

I am trying to find a way to do the following on an AIX 4.2 with Korn:

I want to compress backup files to tape using compress on our AIX 4.2
- Our TAR does not have compression.
- I do not want to use local storage to compress as most of the filesystems are pretty full.

The production server was AIX 5.3 and recently upgraded to... (3 Replies)

mount.nfs
MOUNT.NFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT.NFS(8)NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System
SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]
DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.
mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
command with limited functionality.
remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be
mounted.
Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.
OPTIONS -r Mount file system readonly.
-v Be verbose.
-V Print version.
-w Mount file system read-write.
-f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.
-n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
an entry.
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.
-h Print help message.
nfsoptions
Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.
NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.
FILES
