Hardware Considerations

BRMS is compatible with all System i RISC system models. The following types of media and tape library devices are compatible with BRMS:

All types of System i tape media.
All System i stand-alone tape devices.
All System i optical devices.
All System i media libraries (MLBs).
Use of save files.
Use of TSM servers.

BRMS does not support diskette, unlabeled or nonstandard label tape.

During installation, BRMS automatically registers and initializes the devices attached to your System i platform and creates corresponding device information entries. It is very important that you attach the devices that you plan to use before installing BRMS. If you add devices after the installation, you must run the initializing process again to register the new devices with BRMS. Use the Initialize BRMS (INZBRM) command with the parameter OPTION(*DATA).

Note:

See Working with Devices in BRMS for more information about how to use BRMS to add or change devices and device information.
