CL Command Reference - INZBRM
CL Command List > INZBRM Reference
Description:
The Initialize BRMS (INZBRM) command performs several types of initialization. These are:
. Allows you to estimate the time to update the BRMS product to a future version and release.
. Allows you to start BRMS product initialization after installation or update.
. Allows you to estimate the time remaining to complete BRMS product initialization.
. Initializes all major files as well as establishing default policies and control groups
. Starts the subsystem for networking in a multi-system environment
. Allows you to reset BRMS and re-initialize all major files as well as establishing default policies and control groups v Creates auxiliary storage pool (ASP) descriptions
. Allows you to re-register all BRMS functional authority elements with the i5/OS registration facility. This option is used during a full system recovery prior to restoring user profiles
. Allows you to change the system name for BRMS media information to a new system name when restoring this information to a different system or logical partition
. Allows you to merge the BRMS database files contained on one library with the BRMS database files in another library
The INZBRM command is used to add a system to a BRMS network group. The INZBRM command must be processed from the system that you are adding to the network group.
Note: All references to system name assume that the system name and the system location name are the same and are used interchangeably in the help information. If they are not the same, use the system location name instead of the system name. You can review the setting for the system name and location name by using the Display Network Attributes (DSPNETA) command from any command line.
Systems that are members of the network group share BRMS media inventory. Additions, changes and removals from shared media inventory on any system in the network result in the same changes being made to all systems that are members of the network group.
When a system is added to a network group, the media information common to the network group is copied to the system that you are adding. The system¡¯s media information is replaced by the network group¡¯s media information.
When a system is first added, it is added in an inactive status on an active network group member.
Note: This is accomplished by adding the system to a network group list using the Change Network Group display which is found in the System Policy menu. When the system name is added to the list, it is shown in inactive status.
The INZBRM OPTION(*NETSYS) option changes the status from inactive to active and synchronizes media information.
The following shared BRMS information files are replaced on this system with the information from the incoming system:
. Media inventory
. Media classes
. Media policies
. Container inventory
. Container classes
. Move policies
. Network systems
. Storage locations
To use this command, you must have the Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries, 5722-BR1, licensed program installed.
Restrictions:
1. This command should not be used by control group *EXIT item processing as results will be unpredictable.
2. All BRMS operations must be ended before running this command.
3. All object authority is required to run the *RUNPRDINZ option.
4. These additional restrictions apply when *MERGE is specified for the Option (OPTION) parameter:
. All BRMS operations must be ended if library QUSRBRM is specified for the To library (TOLIB) parameter.
. Ownership of the from library and its objects and the to library and its objects will be changed to QBRMS prior to the merge. The public authority will be changed to *USE.
. Exclusive locks will be placed on the physical files in the from library objects and to library objects prior to the merge.
. Logical files will be deleted from the from library and to libraries prior to the merge.
Examples:
Example 1: Initializing the BRMS Product
INZBRM OPTION(*RESET)
This command initializes BRMS resetting all values to the default value.
Example 2: Activating a System on the Network
INZBRM OPTION(*NETSYS) FROMSYS(MYNETID.MYSYSID)
This command activates system MYSYSID on network MYNETID into the BRMS network. The command is run on system MYSYSID.
Example 3: Register All Functional Authorities
INZBRM OPTION(*SETAUT)
This command registers all policies and functions currently defined in BRMS to the i5/OS Registration facility.
Example 4: Rename Media Information
INZBRM OPTION(*CHGSYSNAM) PRVSYSNAM(MYNETID.MYSYSID) NEWSYSNAM(*LCL)
This command renames all BRMS media information currently owned by system MYSYSID on network MYNETID to the local network identified and default local location name as defined in the network attributes.
Example 5: Merge BRMS Database Files
INZBRM OPTION(*MERGE) FROMLIB(QUSRBRMSAV) TOLIB(QUSRBRM) MERGE(*ALL)
This command merges the records found in the database files found in library QUSRBRMSAV with the records found in library QUSRBRM.
Example 6: Estimate BRMS initialization
INZBRM OPTION(*ESTPRDINZ)
This command estimates the time required to initialize BRMS following installation of the product primary language. The estimate is returned in message BRM402B.
Example 7: Run BRMS initialization
INZBRM OPTION(*RUNPRDINZ)
The user has received exception BRM40A2 trying to run BRMS operations. This command completes the BRMS product initialization and allows for normal BRMS operations to continue.
Example 8: Estimate BRMS update time
INZBRM OPTION(*ESTPRDUPT) TGTRLS(VxRxMx)
Estimates the time to update the current version and release of BRMS to the version and release specified by the VxRxMx value for the TGTRLS parameter.
