client will request services from the BMA server, which may be located on the VTS server or
on a remote server. The BMA server then identifies the tape to back up or restore and

l 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.
