How can I do this commands to DDS remote?

mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl
mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew

Is it possible?

Thanks

I think you would need to use remsh: remsh hostname -n mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl

Well, you could do it like this:

remsh remotesystem "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl"
remsh remotesystem "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew"

Have you try ..
$ mt -f : rew
It may work, just like the GNU version of mt command. Do a man on mt to see if "-f" is supported.

There is no way to do directly with the mt command.

If you have ssh installed and configured you can do the following:

# ssh remote_host "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn offl"

If you don't have ssh and don't allow the r* commands, you are pretty much out of luck.
