Enrolling Multiple Volumes for Use by stand-alone Devices

You can enroll multiple volumes into BRMS for use by a stand-alone device by using a single command. To do so, take the following steps:

1. Type ADDMEDBRM at a command line and press Enter.

                             Add Media to BRM (ADDMEDBRM)                          
                                                                                   
    Type choices, press Enter.                                                     
                                                                                   
    Volume identifier  . . . . . . .                                               
    Media class  . . . . . . . . . .                 FMT3590, FMT3590E, FMT3590H...

    Initialize media . . . . . . . .   *NO           *NO, *YES                     
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                            Bottom 
    F3=Exit   F4=Prompt   F5=Refresh   F10=Additional parameters   F12=Cancel      
    F13=How to use this display        F24=More keys                               

2. At the Add Media to BRM display, enter a unique six-character or thirty-two-character (for optical volumes) name into the Volume Identifier field. To add multiples, the last characters of the volumes that you specify must be numeric (for example, TAP01).
   Note:

   BRMS media inventory requires a six-character volume serial. BRMS will use the Volume prefix specified on the System Policy to generate a unique six-character name for BRMS to use. This will be used in conjunction with the Volume Identifier.
3. At the Media Class field, enter the media class name of the volume you want to enroll. To select from a list of available media classes, press F4.
4. Enter the total number of volumes you want to add in the Number to add field. Though the Number to add field is large enough to contain thirty-one digits, you can only enroll a maximum of 999 volumes at one time.
5. Press F10 to review and change additional parameters as needed.
6. Press Enter to enroll the volumes.

BRMS provides the capability to automatically enroll media detected by BRMS but not found in the media inventory. You can specify the use of this capability at the Auto enroll media parameter on the Change System Policy display. You can specify automatic enrollment for individual, stand-alone devices on the WRKDEVBRM command.
