  5. If using a mixture of VTL and physical and you are planning on continuing the same practices, list control groups that will use physical media

If using BRMS backup control groups, load and apply 7.3 SI69390 7.2 SI69389  7.1 SI67311 or superseding PTF and then run the following commands on each LPAR and send the spooled file. The spooled file can be zipped to transfer easier.
