And that's on my MOVMEDBRM report to be shipped off to Iron Mountain this
morning. After that, the location will say IRONMTN.

And none of these commands actually required the physical media. All this
cataloging is stored on disk. And since I am using the networking
function of BRMS I actually checked this on a system 17 miles away from
the tape drive that neither did the original save to virtual tape, nor the
dupmedbrm of the ftp'd virtual image catalog. So, if one system takes it
in the shorts I can still find the data needed to restore it on any other
lpar.
