Re: Simple way to transfer library

I had a related problem, downloading a 3Gb library via ftp failed
everytime (around 2.8gb), saving the lib to a savf, downloading (the
resulting 4.5gb file) and the uploading to target system worked like a
charm, anything better for this kind of movement?
tomorrow i'm gonna do a op21 on a 520, if i have enough ASP i'll
attempt the virtual tape way.

cheers,

Roberto

Rob,
Please post the reply when you get it as I had the same thought a couple of
weeks back.

Okay, I was using a windows networked drive that I was copying but am
interested in how i Nav will handle the copy.

Cheers
Paul

Interesting.  I am going to have to try that.  I wonder if that makes the
comm go through the PC?  For example, you want to move a library from
LPAR1 to LPAR2 on the same box.  And your PC is in a different country
supported by two Dixie cups and a string.  Would that increase transfer
time?

For a one-time transfer, OpsNav works really well.  You can point to a
bunch of libraries and then send them over to the other machine.  OpsNav
does all the save/transfer/restore stuff for you.

Is there a simple way to copy a library to a remote (300 miles away)
iSeries?  I know I can do:

Create SAVF
SAVLIB to SAVF
Create SAVF on remote system
  Lather:
FTP SAVF to remote system
RSTLIB on remote system
CLRSAVF on remote system
CLRSAVF on local system
Lather, rinse, repeat (for each library)

I can do this but am hoping there's an easier, cheap (i.e. free)
alternative.  We're upgrading to a new Power 7 and I need to copy some
libraries over to a remote i5 until the upgrade is complete, and then

copy

them to the new system.  I'd really rather not install anything new on

the

old box, to accomplish this.

As always, any and all responses are welcome.
