[daip] tapes

[Crystal Brogan]

Hi,

I'm probably doing something silly, but I can't get my remote
tape mount to work.

The tape drive is a DDS 4 Exabyte drive (internal) running on a linux
machine called SHADOWFAX. The device name is /dev/nst0. Reading
and writing from shadowfax to the tape drive works fine.

I am trying to write to this tape drive from my laptop which is
called AQUILA.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Aquila:

[root at aquila DA00]# more TPDEVS.LIST
# Host     Device-name    Comment
SHADOWFAX   /dev/nst0     Exabyte 8500


[root at aquila DA00]# more TPHOSTS
shadowfax.ifa.hawaii.edu
# localhost
127.0.0.1


The /etc/services:
# Local services
sssin           5000/tcp        SSSIN      # AIPS TV server
ssslock         5002/tcp        SSSLOCK    # AIPS TV Lock
msgserv         5008/tcp        MSGSERV    # AIPS Message Server
tekserv         5009/tcp        TEKSERV    # AIPS TekServer
aipsmt0         5010/tcp        AIPSMT0    # AIPS remote FITS disk access
aipsmt1         5011/tcp        AIPSMT1    # AIPS remote tape 1
aipsmt2         5012/tcp        AIPSMT2    # AIPS remote tape 2
aipsmt3         5013/tcp        AIPSMT3
aipsmt4         5014/tcp        AIPSMT4

(the /etc/services on shadowfax are the same).

When I try to mount the tape:

>inp mount
AIPS 1: MOUNT:    Verb to software mount a tape

Do I need to set something else? Do I need to add aquila to the list of
hosts on shadowfax? Or vice versa? Or change something else on shadowfax.


Thanks,
Crystal
