DEFINE RECMEDMACHASSOCIATION (Associate recovery media with a machine)

Use this command to associate recovery media with one or more machines. A machine is associated with recovery media so that the location of the boot media and its list of volume names are available to recover the machine. To retrieve the information, issue the QUERY MACHINE command. This information will be included in the plan file to help you recover the client machines.

To associate a machine with recovery media, both the machine and media must be defined to Tivoli® Storage Manager. A machine remains associated with the media until the association, the media, or the machine is deleted.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
