Using BRMS to Manage Tivoli Storage Manager/PASE Media

The Tivoli® Storage Manager for the Portable Application Solutions Environment (TSM/PASE) server provides an exit interface which allows a tape management system like BRMS to perform media operations. BRMS provides four exit programs (BRMS TSM Exits) which a TSM administrator can use for defining exits for TSM user-defined libraries using exit-based drive selection. These exit programs are:

QBRM/Q1AMNTTSM

BRMS exit program for allocating devices and mounting a TSM volume.

QBRM/Q1AUNLTSM

BRMS exit program for de-allocating devices and dismounting a TSM volume.

QBRM/Q1ADLTTSM

BRMS exit program for deleting volumes from a TSM storage pool.

QBRM/Q1AEXPTSM

BRMS exit program for expiring volumes in a TSM storage pool.
