When using the BRMS supplied cloud control groups named QCLDIPLxx QCLDBIPLxx the backup always goes to virtual optical and the transfers are not initiated until after the control group is finished. This is because BRMS uses leave processing during the backup and appends to the optical volume set. Optical does not have an exit program available to call to initiate a transfer when a volume is full. By default, the QCLDIPLxx QCLDBIPLxx control group attributes for option 9 'Subsystems to process' value is set to Restart *YES or when using restricted state batch processing, the subsystems will start and allow automatic transfers to happen after the control group completes. If the Restart value is changed to *NO, BRMS does not do any special processing to start any subsystems and the automatic transfer request will fail. The volumes will stay in *TRF state until the problem is resolved. When the subsystem is started again, running STRMNTBRM will find and transfer any volumes left in *TRF state.
