Purpose

The Add Media Information to BRM (ADDMEDIBRM) command adds file level detail to BRMS media inventory volume content information. The files, and the volumes that contain them, can be from another tape inventory or from some other outside source. The purpose of the command is to allow user applications or another tape management system to insert data (tape file descriptions) into the BRMS media volume content information so that the volumes and their contents can be managed. The volume for which you are adding content information must exist in the media inventory and the volume, file sequence and volume sequence must be unique in the media inventory content information. Multiple volumes will write a media information record for each volume with the volume sequence being incremented as the records are added.

Note: This command adds records in the BRMS media inventory contents information based on the information you supply, particularly in regard to file sequence, volume and so on. It is critical that you are careful to apply the correct information and have a full understanding of the command before you use it.

Note: You can only add media content information to an expired volume.
