The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
First of all, all your tapes should have unique labels. Secondly, these
labels should be meaningless. There should be nothing on them like DMON,
DTUE, DWED, DTHU, WFRI, MONTH01, etc. Use something like BR0001, BR0002.
Or maybe a one or two character thing which may help IBM if you send the
tapes to them instead of BR. Don't even differentiate them by system.
BRMS works better if you embrace it instead of fight it. We fought it for
years. We figured out how to use a library in random mode outside of BRMS
(this model does not support sequential mode). And even how to get it to
respect our tape naming. But I strongly recommend you don't go that
route.
BRMS will tell you what is on what tape, even if they are offsite.
Recovery reports it generates can be used if BRMS is down because your
system is fried. Keep the faith!
We had a consultant do it but there are step-by-step instructions
available. I just can't find them at this time.
