Hi, 

Q: what is the best way to share devices such as tape library among 
different zones? 

I have a situation that I need run vertas netbackup in two separate
zones, while sharing the same tape library due to budget constraints.

in order to share it, I'm thinking about shuttle the devices
via zoneadm/zonecfg to add/remove devices to the zone(s) , reload
the zone. and use zonecfg/zoneadm to shuttle device after backup is
done. and on ..,  and doing this via a cron script.  is this a sensible
thing to do ? any better solutions? 


Thanks.
Jason
