Does anyone know of a simple way to backup both a VMS cluster and an ultrix cluster to one tape drive connected either to the VMS or the ultrix machine? Thanks Peter Kocks kocks@jessica.Stanford.EDU

Well, we have a set of 9tracks and a pair of TA90's, a VMS CI VAXcluster, and an Ultrix CI Clump, both with HSC's. We put an HSC5X-DA into the VMS HSC (HSC1) and an HSC5X-DA into the Ultrix HSC (HSC2), hooked the A port on all the tapes to the VMS side, and the B port on all the tapes to the ULTRIX side, and now both machines have a substantial tape farm. Note that you have to prevent either side from monkeying with the others tape, or have the operators push the switches a lot, but it works quite nicely. -- Ron Jarrell Virginia Tech Computing Center jarrell@vtserf.cc.vt.edu
