Mounting Tape on Tape Drive using BRMS

Hi,

We have BRMS installed on AS400 V5R4.The Backup and Restore are done manually.Once the tapes are ordered the operator puts it in the tape library.Can anyone please let me know how I mount the tape on the tape drive remotely.

As an example,I am pasting below the ‘Work with media Library Media ‘ screen

                       Work with Media Library Media                                                                           Media library . . . . . . :  TAPMLB03                          Position to . . . . . . . .               Starting characters                                                                 Type options, press Enter.                                       1=Add MLB media      2=Work with media    5=Initialize         6=Change category    7=Eject   8=Mount    9=Demount                                                                                    Media            —BRM Information—              Opt Volume Type  Category   Media Class   Expired  Status                                                                         ED0265       *SHARE400  ULTRIUM3       *YES    Available       ED0266       *SHARE400  ULTRIUM3       *YES    Available       ED0277       *INSERT    ULTRIUM3       *YES    Inserted        ED0278       *INSERT    ULTRIUM3       *YES    Inserted        ED0279       *INSERT    ULTRIUM3       *YES    Inserted        ED0281       *INSERT    ULTRIUM3       *YES    Inserted        ED0283       *INSERT    ULTRIUM3       *YES    Inserted  

Now,if the restore was to be done from the last tape ED0283,how will I move it to tape drive (In my case TAP03 in library TAPMLB03)remotely so that I can do the restore.

I am new to BRMS and hence would appreciate if anyone can help me here.

Thanks

Hughes
