Share Tape drive between Solaris servers

Hi,

I have two solaris servers running Oracle Applications. One is SPARC 5.9 and other one is SPARC 5.10
I want to share the tape drive attached to 5.10 with other machine so that i can enhance my backup strategy for backing up Oracle DB.

I tried to share my tape drive by performing the below which I got it from one forum

1. On the server with the tape drive, you must share this drive to the other servers. Go to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and enter the following line:
share -F nfs -o rw /path/nameoftapedrive
2. To share it out you must type the command: shareall
note: you must be root to do all this.
3. From the server you want to back up mount the tape drive to a local directory something like this:
mount server1:/path/drivename /mnt
4. back up the server info to that mount point which is your tape drive.
5. unmount the drive

But i got the below error when sharing

root@KSEBSDB # shareall
share_nfs: /devices/pci@2,600000/LSI,sas@0/iport@80/tape@w500110a001392e28,0:n: Operation not applicable

Could you kindly help me on to proceed with this.

Regards,
Srinath
