Re: BRMS in CL

["Nick Franco" <franco.nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CHKTAP will not handle the BRMS side of things, such as if a valid BRMS
scratch tape is in the drive. I tried monitoring message on BRM0000 and
CPA0000 but it did not catch CPA message CPA4086. The tape drive, which is
a 3580, tried to load the next tape when it saw that the tape in the drive
was an Active BRMS tape and not a scratch tape. There was not any other
tapes in the drive, then causing the CPA message. Any other ideas?
