On the target system, I believe I have options.
But in any case, needs to be done prior to final IPL.
1) Prior to Step 8: Update System Name in BRMS Media Information of BRMS recovery report
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1013153
2) or prior to Step 32: Perform IPL, of BRMS recovery report.
A concern, if I'm going to test multiple, concurrent BRMS restores using multiples devices.
From one of Jim's earlier related posts
< Using multiple drives for multiple BRMS recoveries, You can't be in a restricted state but you can have the system severely restricted.
You can only have one HMC console session, correct.
So in order to start additional interactive sessions for BRMS restores, minimum network connectivity would need to be created/started.
With that said, system name, ip, etc would have to be changed.

Subject: Re: BRMS test recovery - should test recovered system name be changed before or after the recovery
How does one change it "before the restore"? Does one change it prior to
the save on the live system? If so, I would NOT do that as the risk of
executing the MAKEAMESS command is too great. Do it on the target system,
prior to bringing it out of restricted state.
