Moving to a new SAN, both LUNs will not be accessible at the same time. Thanks for the several replies I've received, sounds like the dd to tape mechanism is broken for zfs send, unless someone knows otherwise or has some trick? I'm just going to try a tar to tape then (maybe using dd),

I've used several tape autoloaders during my professional life. I recall that we can use ufsdump or tar or dd with at least some autoloaders where the autoloader can be set to automatically eject a tape when it's full load the next one. Has always worked OK whenever I tried it. I'm
