To enable BRMS support using DSI VTL iSCSI device, the following IBM i BRMS PTFs need to be applied:
Supported IBM i Release PTFs | ||
|---|---|---|
7.2 | 7.3 | 7.4 |
SI75082 | SI75083 | SI75084 |
NOTE: Additional IBM i PTFs are required to enable support for DSI VTL iSCSI devices, please reference IBM i Removable Media: Support for iSCSI VTL.
...
NOTE:
The control groups QNFSIPLFUL and QNFSIPLINC are required to use a device and Media Policy that resolve to a virtual optical device.
The control groups QNFSSYSFUL and QNFSSYSINC are expected to use a device and Media Policy that resolve to an DSI VTL iSCSI device, *MEDCLS is not supported as the device parameter.
The DSI VTL iSCSI device needs to be available with expired media for a successful backup.
The virtual optical media used by control groups QNFSIPLFUL and QNFSIPLINC are automatically removed after the backup to the DSI VTL iSCSI device.
Do not copy ANY of these control groups expecting the same behavior. Copies of these control groups will not provide the additional save processing associated with QNFSIPLFUL and QNFSIPLINC.
To run the DSI VTL iSCSI control groups in restricted state, a TCP/IP restricted state interface has to be enabled.
System Storage
Large amounts of storage may be required for backup media. The virtual optical media used to backup control groups QNFSIPLFUL and QNFSIPLINC are removed from the system after the image files are successfully saved to the DSI VTL iSCSI device.
