James,

That means that Media and Storage Extensions are registered to BRMS
which is on the system. BRMS recognised that is was not a BRMS tape
rather a 'foreign' tape and let you know that it used the tape, but you
may wish to check it. There is a setting that will cause BRMS (via
Media and Storage Extensions) to stop any 'foreign' tape usage on the
system.

Fascinating: even within the context of IBM, "BRMS" can mean at least two completely different things (the other one being "Business Rules Management System).

I still don't get why it is, by default, even caring whether or not it's a BRMS tape, and I have no clue what is involved in "registering" a tape with BRMS; we just format them and use them, reformatting as needed.
