- I need advice on setting up & using an install server.
- Specifically, is it possible to set up a Sun 4/280 to
- provide installation service from its 8mm tape drive?
-
- System is an RS6000 running AIX 3.2.2, & is the only AIX
- machine in our department.
-
- In the event that this scenario is impossible, i could
- use advice on attatching a non-IBM 8mm tape drive to the
- RS6000. My SE says that there may be some compatibility
- issues, but he was vague (IBMers talking about non-IBM
- products usually are ;-)
-
- Thanks to anyone who can help.
