Hi,

easiest way for you is to use SAM, I think.
Go to kernel config - you'll find it for shure.
Having added the stape driver to the kernel, all will go automagically on reboot with a tape drive attached.

Hi,

you need a new kernel to get that support -
not possible without reboot.

you can't connect same tape to two server.

if stape driver is not installed in the server on which tape is physically connected , you have to create new kernel for that. you can take backup of other server in this tape. you have to specify the remote hostename:devicename

like
fbackup -f remote_host_name:/dev/rmt/cntndn -i path

you can use this way for fbackup, rdump , tar & dataprotector etc
