Re: STRVRTINS

AFAIK, virtual CD support on V5R1 is only for installing V5R2. It cannot be used for anything else at V5R1. STRVRTINS is specific to a V5R1-V5R2 upgrade and has no purpose beyond that, at least "as designed"

I think you're right.

You'll find a lot of what you suggest covered via *IMGCLG keywords on commands, etc., or the actual name of the virtual device.

You're right again.

Some of the steps suggested probably involve an IPL - this complicates things - the scope of a command does not cross IPLs - would need persistent storage of the various settings as well as automated PTF processing - not sure that is possible, or at least easy.

That's true. But since IBM has so many brilliant people, I assumed they could do it.

I've not even been able to create more than one virtual optical device - in order to mount more than one image catalog. Anyone tried that successfully?

I was able to create OPTVRT02 by copying OPTVRT01, but was unable to vary it on. I am assuming that if I varied off OPTVRT01, then I could vary on OPTVRT02. So I guess it's only one at a time.

It really was a help in installing V5R2. Hopefully, this is not the full extent of image catalog stuff. Perhaps this is only an infancy with enhancements to come.
