Hi Rob

that was my first thought but that did not turn out to be the case.

I'm still looking at this but I did track down the movement by reading the
journal for file QUSRBRM/QA1AMM which gave me the time the location
changed
for the volume in question. I then managed to find the event in the BRMS
log by browsing the *MED entries (DSPLOGBRM *MED)

As it turned out the move to the *HOME location was caused by another
system in the BRMS network using a volume named the same to do a restore.
After the restore the volume was moved to the *HOME location on the system
that owned the volume.

Just for curiousity sake, the sequence of events was:
- Save was done to virtual tape on SYSTEMA using BRMS
- Virtual tape file was transferred to SYSTEMB
- Restore done using native commands on SYSTEMB (SYSTEMB and SYSTEMA are
in
same BRMS network)
- SYSTEMB moved volume to *HOME location after restore and SYSTEMA voume
detaisl were updated.

You don't have any move policy assigned to that do you?

Hi

I had a backup temporarily halt because a virtual tape had the wrong
location assigned.

I've been trying to figure out how the volume got assigned to the *HOME
location - normally it's location is DISK - but can't find any

indication

of where or how this came about.

Is there a table or log I can review to see how this might have come

about

?

No suggestion that BRMS has misbehaved, just trying to figure out how

the

change happened.
