Saving media information for duplicate volumes
Take the following steps to save media information for duplicate volumes:
- Run the BRMS backup on the original volume and specify that you want to save the media information.
- Create the duplicate volumes with the DUPMEDBRM command.
- Run media movement by using the Move Media using BRM (MOVMEDBRM) command so that the two sets of volumes (original and duplicate) go to different locations.
- Perform another save of the media information by using the Save Media Information using BRM (SAVMEDIBRM) command.
- Move the volumes that SAVMEDIBRM command creates in the previous step to the same location as the duplicate volumes.
- Create the recovery report by specifying the location of the duplicate volumes in the STRRCYBRM LOC (duplicate-volume-location).
