I'm building a new server that doesn't have an internal tape drive. It is running 5.3ML8. I have another server running 5.1ML9 that has an LTO1 drive I'd like to share. Is this possible, or should I look into twin-tailing it, if that's even supported anymore.

NAME

       zcons - Zone console device driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which applica-
       tions in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the  global
       zones.

       Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave  side is fronted
       by /dev/console and other console-related  symbolic links, which are used by applications that expect to write to the system console.

       The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.

FILES

       /dev/zcons/<zonename>/masterconsole

	   Global zone master side console for zone <zonename>.

       /dev/zcons/<zonename>/slaveconsole

	   Global zone slave side console for zone <zonename>.

       /dev/zconsole

	   Non-global zone console (slave side).
