If you use virtual tape improperly, you could execute the WASTE DISK SPACE command. Also, on my little system, I am getting worse performance using Virtual Tape than to an ULTRIUM2 tape drive. If was suggested that we put the image catalogue in an IASP to get better performance. Also I was getting terrible performance going from the virtual tape to the ULTRIUM2 tape drive, but there's a PTF to fix that.

And it's great. But how do you get the virtual tape stuff to the remote system? Use CPY to copy it from the system it was saved on to the remote system via '/QFileSvr.400'? Because you cannot specify QFileSvr.400 directly in a SAV command. Or, save the virtual tape directory to a save file and then ftp or something that save file over to the remote system? The problem with the save file method is then you waste twice the disk space: Once for the virtual tape area Twice for the save file.

Out of curiosity, what happens to the save files after they are created? I create save files of all of our production libraries every night and push them to our backup i5 where they are both stored until the next night, and backed up to tape. * Jerry C.
