[Xen-users] About tape drive.

[Ivan Gonzalez <smaug_valley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone.

Well i want to write some information (not a complete
backup) from my Virtual Machine to the tape drive, but
the VM can't read it. 

I guess i need to attach this device to the VM so it
can read and write the tape driver but i don't know
how to do that, i found something similar but with a
cd:

# xm block-list <vm-id> ?long
# xm block-detach 1 5632 -f
# xm block-attach 1 phy:/dev/cdrom /dev/hdc r
# eject /dev/cdrom
# xm block-attach 1 phy:/dev/sda /dev/hdc r
# xm block-detach 1 5632 -f
# xm block-attach 1 phy:/dev/cdrom /dev/hdc r

But this is for a block device and i need something
for a character device.

I hope someone can help me
I appreciate your help.

Ivan.
