Defines how BRMS operations are processed. There are  different types of policies, which include system policy, backup  policy, recovery policy, media policy, and move policy. A policy  determines how data is to be processed. Policies QBRM and QUSRBRM These IBM i libraries contain BRMS-related objects and  management information.  VTL versus physical tape drives:  Configuration of BRMS for ProtecTIER virtual tape  devices is no different from configuration for physical tape devices. Relevant BRMS version  guidelines and steps to configure BRMS tape devices are available in the IBM BRMS  product information section at the following web page: http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/support/brms/prodinfo.html This section focuses on the suggested BRMS configurations that are relevant to ProtecTIER  virtual tape devices. The following list includes some guidelines: Tip:  You can make the virtual LTO3 cartridges any size you want, but not the LTO3 size.  The cartridges’ performance matches whatever your ProtecTIER configuration  supports, and is not tied to LTO3 speed.  – Do not configure a move policy if you want the media to stay in the library after  save operations. You can perform a manual move when you want to access it  from a remote site.  – If you choose a remote VTL as a destination, configure the move policy for the selected  media so that the media can be moved out from the local VTL to the shelf after a save  operation. The replica cartridges can then be moved to a remote VTL and be  accessible in remote IBM i. GLYPH<SM590000> To choose your replication destination with ProtecTIER Manager, complete the  following steps: GLYPH<SM590000> Add the virtual cartridges in to BRMS by running  ADDMLMBRM  command and be sure to  initialize them to reflect the virtual cartridge’s actual label (bar code). Use the actual  command rather than navigating there from the  WRKMLMBRM  menu. GLYPH<SM590000> The ProtecTIER product emulates LTO3 tape devices. When you define the BRMS media  class in a ProtecTIER environment, create a separate media class for virtual LTO3  volumes from the media class for physical LTO3 volumes. Use a *ULTRIUM3 density. GLYPH<SM590000> The ProtecTIER VTL takes the next available TAPMLBxx name by default. Rename it to  match the name that you used in ProtecTIER Manager to keep your environment orderly. GLYPH<SM590000> Use  STRSST  to reset the tape adapter that is attached to the ProtecTIER node to recognize  newly created virtual tape devices in ProtecTIER system.  17.3.2 Suggested configurations of BRMS  Chapter 17.
