Prepare media

Sharon needs to define write once, read many (WORM) with BRMS to save information that she wants to archive. Since invoice information does not change after an account is paid she feels that WORM media would be a good choice. Active and delinquent accounts will continue to be part of regular backups that are performed weekly. You can save once, but allow read access to the data. To add WORM media to BRMS, complete the following tasks:
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).
  2. Expand JKLPROD > Backup, Recovery and Media Services > Media > Media Pools and right-click Qic1000, and select Properties.
    Note: The media pool name is generated automatically based on the tape density of the media or you can right-click an existing media pool and select New based on . . . to create a new media pool.
  3. On the Properties page, select Write once media to indicate that this media pool will contain write once media.
  4. Click OK.
