Get weirder al the time.

TAPMLB01 VARIED ON
TAPMLB02 VARIED OFF
TAP35 VARIED ON
TAP35OLD VARIED OFF
TAP90 VARIED OFF

So simple. Just vary off TAPMLB01 and it works? Good grief! Since
"changes" have been made, we get a backup every other week now, solely
because it has to be attended.

We only have ONE media library. TAPMLB02 has *RSRCNAME for device type and
device model, and nothing for TEXT.

TAPMLB01 has 3590 E11 for device type and device model. Text says CREATED
BY AUTO-CONFIGURATION.

Seems a tad odd to me.

Good Sales guy, bad implementer guy?

I am not a BRMS guy so I'll let that to Jim or others.

BUT you can:
1) Load multiple tapes into the library, and initialize them.
2) Set the thing for Sequential mode. (Depends on the library how to do
that.)
3) Vary OFF TAPMLB01
4) Vary ON the tape device that's connected to it.
5) Do the SAVE 21 with the tape device, NOT the library. When more tapes
are needed it's the library that fetches the next one.

We have BRMS installed. Never been used. Weird labeling on tapes -
DAILY
and WEEKLY is likely the reason.

I have been informed that I will be responsible for pre and post install
backup.Not a big deal.

But, despite having a big media library, the tapes are inserted into the
single slot.

Our backup takes two tapes now. I was wondering if two tapes could be
put
into the unit and a GO SAVE 21 would just grab the next tape . I know I
have seen something about configuring the library for sequential. Just
don't remember enough to do a search.

I was wondering if I could put two or maybe three tapes in the library,
and
have GO SAVE 21 do a scheduled start and swap tapes as needed.


Is this just a BRMS thing?

I don't understand why we have a media library but don't actually use it.
