Saving media information for duplicate volumes

Take the following steps to save media information for duplicate volumes:

  1. Run the BRMS backup on the original volume and specify that you want to save the media information.
  2. Create the duplicate volumes with the DUPMEDBRM command.
  3. 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.
  4. Perform another save of the media information by using the Save Media Information using BRM (SAVMEDIBRM) command.
  5. Move the volumes that SAVMEDIBRM command creates in the previous step to the same location as the duplicate volumes.
  6. Create the recovery report by specifying the location of the duplicate volumes in the STRRCYBRM LOC (duplicate-volume-location).
