Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Supplemental Installation Guide

14 | Enabling BMA Integration and Migration
• A VTSPolicy command sent from the host server through EMS can initiate migration.
VTSPolicy can initiate many of the commands that are available on the BMA server. The
command can be scheduled on the host server using NetBatch or appended to a Tandem
Advanced Command Language (TACL) backup script.
Be sure that the BMA client is installed and configured on the VTS server. Refer to the BMA
documentation for more information. Then, modify the VTS configuration file to configure
migration, which entails configuring the hsm_ parameters, and then set the username and
password.
Note A default configuration file is defined for each VTS server. To override the default
settings, you must define settings as described below.
