external DDS4 Tape Drive
Hi folks,
I've got a little problem concerning my external dds4 tape drive.
I've got 2 rs6000 systems, one has a external dds4 tape drive attached, I want to attach the tape drive to the other rs6000 system so that i can restore data from the 1st rs6000 on to the second.
Does anybody has some experience doing this, and how this should be done?
I believe I should first disable it on the first one, then attach it to the seccond and the run the configuration manager??
If any of you have advice please let me know!
Greets,
Erik

Description
Prior to Version 2.0, this device was referenced by tmscp(4).
The TMSCP driver provides a standard tape drive interface, as described in This is a driver for any controller that adheres to the Tape
Mass Storage Control Protocol (TMSCP). The TMSCP controllers communicate with the host through a packet-oriented protocol termed the Tape
Mass Storage Control Protocol. This driver also supports n-buffered reads and writes to the raw tape interface (used with streaming tape
drives). See for further details.
