However, there is no SAN switch. So my question would be, is it possible to backup content from the partner node using 'dump' command while the tape is being attached to one node of the HA pair?nt </SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;"><STRONG>My ultimate goal is to backup content from both nodes using 'dump' command to the available tape drive</STRONG>.
