View tape backup files on RHEL5 Operating System

I have an AIX server with a tape Library residing on it. I intend to restore the data backed up to the tape on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

First , i would want to view the contents of the tape on RHEL 5(x86) but seems to be giving an input output error.
I observed that if i backup to tape on AIX, i can only view the contents of my backup on the AIX server same applies to Linux.

I wish to be able to view contents of the backup done on AIX to tape on my RHEL 5(x86) which i use in accessing the tape library remotely and vice versa.
