RE: BRMS and multiple systems

["Evan Harris" <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave

Is the Tape device move manual or automatic ?
If Automatic does BRMS have anything to do with ? 
If Automatic but not BRMS how do you integrate/schedule the move with your
backups ?

If it answers my questions, maybe if you can just send me the instructions
as per your other offer if that's OK :)

Regards
Evan Harris

For once I can answer a question first.

The answer is yes you can. I have a 3 LPAR 9406-MMA and have set this up. I
can forward the instructions to you if you want.

Basically it is not a difficult task.
