The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

We are using BRMS Network. We have 10 lpars spread across 3 boxes using 4
different tape libraries with 1 to 6 drives in each library.
Let's pick our biggest tape library - TAPKVL01. It has 3 drives (out of
the 6 in the physical boxes) assigned to it. We have 4 lpars using it but
only back up using 3 at a time. We may have 50 tapes in it for BRMS. We
use STRBALBRM to say lpar1 uses A# of tapes, lpar2 uses B# of tapes, lpar3
uses C# of tapes, lpar4 uses D# of tapes. Then it goes and divey's them
up. The network feature allows it to know who has what tapes assigned to
them. If you try to reassign a tape from one lpar to another it talks to
the other lpar and let's it know. Clue: have extra tapes balanced around
BEFORE bringing the system to restricted state for a full system save.
Otherwise it can't talk to the other lpar and it won't allow you to use
the tape - no way - no how.
