I'm about to wrap up the summary but I need more question answered. By the way, I'm
using Netvault. I'm going to stick with my original plan by backing dumps of the
advfs domains. I'll be booting to the cdrom installation cd, create a partitions,
create my domains but how am I going to have the tape library talk to my server in
cdrom installation mode (single-user, no network) so that I can transfer the dumps
to the mount point?
