All, Bill thank you for the information about adsmpipe. I have downloaded this utility and compiled it after several tries. Initially when I ran it, it failed since it could not find '/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dscameng.txt'. Now that the file has been created the failure has changed: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ $ > tar -cvf - $HOME | ./bin/adsmpipe -c -v -f 'home_23apr02.tar' -l 300M a /export/home/sp10k/ 0K a /export/home/sp10k/.sh_history 1K a /export/home/sp10k/.dbenv_sapcp00.csh 3K
*************************************************************** The ADSM API library is at a lower release than the application. Proceed with caution. *************************************************************** a /export/home/sp10k/.kshrc 7K a /export/home/sp10k/.profile 4K a /export/home/sp10k/.rhosts 1K a /export/home/sp10k/.sp10k 2K error in dsmInit. rcMsg=ANS0263E (RC2230) Either the dsm.sys file was not found, or the Inclexcl file specifiedin dsm.sys was not found. $ > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Since, inclexcl file exists, I think it cannot find dsm.sys that is in /usr/bin. I suspect that older ADSM releases may have used different environment variable for finding configuration and libraries. Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

IBM tape library is 3494(robot) with 3590-B1A drives. DSM client "Version 3, Release 7, Level 2.0" runs on many other Sun E10000 servers without any tape drives. I need to do a full database reorganization on a database of about 450GB. The export file(s) will be around 150GB which cannot be stored on disk. I need to run the export and pipe or redirect the output to tape. Is there a way to pipe a file to dsmc for backup - something like "cat /etc/hosts | dsmc " to backup contents of /etc/hosts ? Thanks, Farshid Behdashti
