RE: BRMS and multiple systems

Hi Dave

Is the Tape device move manual or automatic ?
If Automatic does BRMS have anything to do with ?
If Automatic but not BRMS how do you integrate/schedule the move with your
backups ?

If it answers my questions, maybe if you can just send me the instructions
as per your other offer if that's OK :)

Regards
Evan Harris

For once I can answer a question first.

The answer is yes you can. I have a 3 LPAR 9406-MMA and have set this up. I
can forward the instructions to you if you want.

Basically it is not a difficult task.

We want to use BRMS with multiple system (LPAR's) but we only have one
tape drive.

HelpSystems Robot LPAR allows us to move the tape drive from one LPAR to
another.

We understand that BRMS can be set up on multiple systems (or LPAR's)
yet retain a common database.

Can we backup System A, have Robot LPAR move the tape drive to System B
and backup System B (essentially an append) without BRMS initializing
the tape?
