Explain to me how that would work. For example, I have these tapes loaded
into the library: BR0001, BR0002, BR0003, BR0004, BR0005, BR0006, BR0007,
BR0008, BR0009, BR0010. I have 4 drives. I have 5 lpars: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
I've ran a STRBALBRM and spread out the media. So let's say lpar 1 has
BR0001, 2; 2 has 3+4, 3 has 5+6, 4 has 7+8 and lpar 5 has BR0009+BR0010.
Now I fire off 5 STRBKUBRM's at once. How does it write to BR0001,
BR0003, BR0005, BR0007, BR0009 all at once when it only has 4 drives? To
allow it to take turns writing by kicking tapes in and out would be
inefficient because there isn't enough lag time between writes to
accommodate kicking out the tape, bringing in a different one for the
different lpar, and vice versa. Am I looking into this wrong? Would BRMS
save multiple lpars onto one tape? Alternating sequence numbers? Wouldn't
one several hour IFS SAV be chopped up? If it's neither of those two
options how would it be done?
