Working with media

After media is added to the BRMS inventory, you can view that media based on the criteria that you specify, such as the volume name, status, media pool, or expiration date.

Knowing the expiration date for the media helps to manually expire a piece of media, which returns that piece of media to the BRMS media inventory.

To filter which media you see in the list, follow these steps:

If using System i® Navigator expand Backup, Recovery, and Media Services > Media. If using IBM® Systems Director select Backup, Recovery, and Media Services.
Using System i Navigator, right-click Volumes and select Customize this View > Include. Using IBM Systems Director select Volumes > Include.
