    Hello,

       I need to share the tape drive on my AIX 5.3 system with my AIX 6.0 system.  Can this be done? 

        I'm not sure if hardware is an issue but an IBM P550 is running  AIX 5.3  and a IBM S720 is running AIX 6.0

    Thanks!

    tar cpf - /stuff | ssh user@destination "tar xpf - /dev/rmt0 ....something like that
