Managing devices

You can use Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS) to display, add, remove, and change the properties of any stand-alone devices, media libraries, and Tivoli® Storage Manager servers used for your save operations.

BRMS enables you to back up your data to stand-alone devices, media libraries, and Tivoli Storage Manager servers. You can also use DVD, CD-ROM, optical libraries and virtual optical devices. Any device you want to use in your BRMS processing must be known to BRMS. You can display, add, remove, and change the properties of these devices through the Manage Devices window. For example, you can specify in the properties of a device whether the device is shared with other systems. You can also specify connection information for your Tivoli Storage Manager servers.
