<p>The Initialize Media using BRM (INZMEDBRM) command prepares media for use in the BRMS system. This command is used to initialize a volume with a standard volume label for standard label magnetic volume processing.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>Note: </b>It is recommended that you use the INZMEDBRM command in place of the i5/OS INZTAP command. To assure the protection of media, BRMS disables INZTAP CHECK(*NO) for users who do not have *SECADM, *SECOFR, *SERVICE or *SAVSYS authority. Unlike users of INZTAP, users of INZMEDBRM do not need these levels of authority in order to use the CHECK(*NO) option.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Virtual tape media and devices can be used with this command. The following restrictions apply to the use of virtual media and virtual devices.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <b>Device (DEV) </b>parameter is limited on only one device or *MEDCLS special value for serial operations.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Execute authority is required to the Load or Unload Image Catalog (LODIMGCLG) command.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>*CHANGE authority is required to the image catalogs.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Execute (*X) authority is required to each directory in the image catalog path name.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Read, write, execute (*RWX) authority is required to each image file in the parent directory that will be loaded or mounted.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>*USE authority is required to the virtual devices using the image catalogs.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>To use this command, you must have the Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries, 5722-BR1, licensed program installed.
