- The RMU command talks to the process RDMS_MONITOR on your system to coordinate
- activity. It cannot communicate to the RDMS_MONITOR process on another node
- using DECnet.
-
- You'll have to copy it to disk first, cluster the systems, or move the SCSI
- controller.
-
- Remote Tape Facility (from System Management Software, 800-521-9966 or
- 805-582-6151) might solve your problem. I don't anything about this product
- other than their ads.
