        Subject:        Piping a file to dsmc


Hello,
We are using ADSM in the following environment:
ADSM server "Version 3, Release 7, Level 0.0" runs on Sun E6500 Solaris
5.7.
IBM tape library is 3494(robot) with 3590-B1A drives.
DSM client "Version 3, Release 7, Level 2.0" runs on many other Sun E10000
servers without any tape drives.

I need to do a full database reorganization on a database of about 450GB.
The export file(s) will be around 150GB which cannot be stored on disk.

I need to run the export and pipe or redirect the output to tape.
Is there a way to pipe a file to dsmc for backup - something like "cat
/etc/hosts | dsmc " to backup contents of /etc/hosts ?
Thanks,
Farshid Behdashti
