VTL Conductor is an application that runs on the IBM i to help automate Media Management to VTL functionality. Conductor can automatically configure the VTL to match what is currently in BRMS, so rather than manually creating libraries, drives and media counts, Conductor does that automatically for you. Also when you create new media class or migrate from another VTL conductor will automatically add those tapes to a defined deduplication policy. Otherwise you would have to do this manually through the VTL GUI console. Conductor also brings event logs and warning messages to the IBM i so that warnings are seen in the system operator queue and messages can be viewed in the event log.
Automatically identifying, importing, deduplicating and replicating unexpired legacy media from one or more legacy backup devices and automatically adjusting BRMS media data to reflect applicable changes (e.g. location, class, etc.).
Automatically securing live media in the virtual vault and returning media to its home library at expiration, or moving virtual media between libraries, each driven by media management system move instructions or BRMS/Tracker manual location changes to guide movement.
Creating automated, scheduled, policy-driven actions to manage virtual media duplication, consolidation and/or archival activities, all managed and executed from a single point.
