Using the Sun SAM-Remote
Software
The Sun SAM-Remote client and the Sun SAM-Remote server form a client/server
implementation that allows libraries and other removable media devices to be
shared between Sun StorageTek SAM host systems. Sun SAM-Remote enables you to
configure multiple storage clients that archive and stage files from a centralized tape
library or magneto-optical library. For example, if you have host systems on a
network that spans a large geographical area, files created in one city can be
archived to cartridges in a library located miles away.
