Do you have the BRMS network feature installed? This shares the metadata across systems. For example if LPAR1 dies I can go to LPAR2 and run
STRRCYBRM FROMSYS(LPAR1)
And get a list of steps needed to recover LPAR1, including what tapes are needed, etc.
And for individual restores (like restoring a production object to development)
RSTOBJBRM FROMSYS(LPAR1)

ID Option Feature Description
5770BR1 *BASE 5050 Backup Recovery and Media Servi
5770BR1 *BASE 2924 Backup Recovery and Media Servi
5770BR1 1 5101 BRMS-Network Feature
5770BR1 2 5102 BRMS-Advanced Functions Feature
