Our experiences were that the DVD is much slower than tape. And it doesn't hold all that much. The only items we save to DVD are some small backups of data before a new program change, or some EDI archiving.

Found the INZOPT command...ran it and it completed successfully. Doing a WRKLNK '/QOPT/*' or a WRKOPTVOL shows my newly created volume. However, tried to do a SAVLIB LIB(LIB1 LIB2) and the job went into a EVTW status and never seemed to do anything. The job got a locks on a bunch of objects from both libraries, but didn't seem to be using any CPU. There was nothing in the joblog except for the save command. But the optical path name I specified on the SAVLIB command had been created on the DVD-RAM. So, I tried saving LIB1 to a save file and using SAVSAVFDTA to move it to the optical. The job is still running and shows an OPTW status. Again, nothing in the joblog but the save command and the job isn't using any CPU. Am I doing something wrong or is everything working and the DVD-RAM is just really, really, REALLY, slow?
