tapeinfo installation procedure

Hi all,

I downloaded "tapeinfo??? from ftp://hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/programs/tapeinfo/.
Unfortunately, I am not able to install it and couldn???t find any man pages that describe the functionality and use of this utility. Any body could help on how to install it.
For your information we are using DLT4000 tape to backup SAP/Oracle Database. The SAP utility for backup is brbackup which uses ???dd??? command.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Re: tapeinfo installation procedure

Usually tapeinfo comes as a tar archive, including the man page and the binary itself. Simply copy it to e.g /usr/contrib/bin. I attached the manpage, you may copy it to /usr/contrib/man/man1/tapeinfo.1.

Best regards...
