Used to use "sensible" naming. Same tape drive (library in sequential mode, not random) used by multiple lpars. Had to load them in just the right order, etc. You really weren't guaranteed that the sensible naming matched what was really on the tape.
An alternative if you use "random" mode might be to set up your backup so that it calculated the media needed and specified the volume
SAVLIB LIB(MYLIB) DEV(KDVLVTL) VOL(L01MON1)
For lpar 01, Monday, Week 1
Still if a person cannot read BRMS recovery reports, or at least find the volume names from the BRMS recovery reports, they have no business doing your restore.
Some people are more confused by the "sensible" names. Was the Monday save 4am Monday or 11pm Monday? Big difference. Systems down. You cannot look at WRKJOBSCDE. Person who schedules it is looking through rubble for their child.
Is this Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 when selecting L01MON1? Idk, you're supposed to check the calendar taped to their cubicle over there in that pile of ashes which used to be our building.
