BEGIN NEWBIE QUESTION<br />
<br />
We have an HP-UX machine with a tape drive and a Sun Solaris machine without one. &nbsp;We would like to access the tape drive from the Solaris machine as if it is part of shared file system (e.g. as if it is just a directory).<br />
<br />
Previously, we extract from the tape and placed it on a temporary directory then we telnet or ftp from the HP to get the actual data. &nbsp;This is getting too cumbersome and inefficient.<br />
<br />
We know this is possible but we're just stepping up our UNIX experience.<br />

Tape Drive Sharing

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
