Using the Sun SAM-Remote Software

The Sun SAM-Remote client and the Sun SAM-Remote server form an implementation that enables libraries and other removable media devices to be shared between SAM-QFS host systems. Use the SAM-Remote software to configure multiple storage clients that archive and stage files from a centralized tape library or magneto-optical library. For example, if you have host systems on a network that spans a large geographical area, files created in one city can be archived to cartridges in a library located miles away.
