Use this command to associate recovery media with one or more machines. A machine is associated with recovery media so that the location of the boot media and its list of volume names are available to recover the machine. To retrieve the information, issue the QUERY MACHINE command.
Note: | TSM does not use the information in any way. It is available only to help you plan for the disaster recovery of client machines. |
To associate a machine with recovery media, both the machine and media must be defined to TSM. A machine remains associated with the media until the association, the media, or the machine is deleted.
