Jack's email seems to indicate that what BRMS is trying to do is to
communicate with the other system and ask it "are you done with all the
data on this tape? Like, is it expired? And, if so, may I use it on my
system?". I can see BRMS doing that.

If it's standalone, how do you share it between systems? Dynamic lpar I/O
move?

Can a virtual tape be used? If so, will a DUPMEDBRM support appending?
And, will it support appending to a tape also used by another system?

My guess is that you have two or more lpars. They don't fill up a single
tape each. You'd like to combine them together so that when you ship them
offsite you can minimize the number of tapes tied up in a
father/grandfather/etc situation. Interesting. Good luck. If you can't
figure it out open up a question pmr with IBM. If they tell you it's not
currently supported open up a DCR. Sounds reasonable. If anyone can keep
track of which tape contains which object from which system after all
that, it will be BRMS.
