Re: How to dump VTL backups to physical tape and import to another IBMi system and maintain all the metadata

Well yes and no. As I noted in another response, source and target IBMi
environments are completely separate, connected only being able to sFTP
files from one site to the other. They are not networked in the BRMS sense.

At the target site the two LPARs do have a network BRMS configuration but
that doesn't help out in this exercise.

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)
