We actually had such a setup prior to BRMS. I may still have the
instructions somewhere, let me look.
BRMS was so much better...

Hello,

I've been tasked to find out if a HP physical tape library being attached
through a SAS HBA to a Power 7 machine running VIOS and IBM i 7.3 can be
used in a meaningful way with just "stock" commands (sav*, rst*), *without*
BRMS.

I'm not aware of "native" IBM i commands to control a tape changer, analog
to mtx on Linux. Do I miss something or is BRMS mandatory to steer media
changers from within IBM i?

Thanks!

:wq! PoC
