From Chapter 13 of the Backup and Recovery Manual:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/bo
oks/sc415304.pdf
3. Load the first SAVSTG tape in the tape unit that is your 
alternative 
IPL device.
4. Install the Licensed Internal Code by using the procedure that is 
described in "Task 2-Powering Down the System" on page 113 
through "How to 
Load the Licensed Internal Code" on page 120. Select option 2 
(Install 
Licensed Internal Code and Initialize System) from the 
Install Licensed 
Internal Code (LIC) display. When the procedure asks for 
SAVSYS media, use 
your SAVSTG tapes instead.

Sounds to me like you can boot from a SAVSTG tape then.

Ahhhh

That explains why I have never run across that method.

I sticking with the load/unload as the way to go.

Pat,

Save storage basically saves a bit level image of the disk.

Obviously, it's quicker to save/restore than a Save Menu 

option 21.  But

unlike the option 21, you can't IPL from the resulting tape 

nor can you

use the save SAVSTG tape to restore individual objects.
