Two hosts ; A and B
A has an internal tape driver, while B not.
In order to do mksysb for B, the following commands could be executed:
B# mknod /tmp/rootbuf.fifo d
A# rsh B dd if=/tmp/rootbuf.fifo | dd of=/dev/rmt0
B# smitty mksysb (select "/tmp/rootbuf" as the backup device)

But i did not know whether this mksysb tape was bootable .
Any one knows ?
