RE: Which tape for Disaster recovery step "Install the Operating System"

Hi Scott,

SAVSYS is the right one. It contains microcode and OS.
Take a look at G325-6328 if you find it on IBMs websites. It explains on one 
simple sheet how to save, what is saved and where it is saved.

Objet : Which tape for Disaster recovery step "Install the Operating System"


When we go to a disaster recovery test, the vendor saves us some time by
loading the LIC from the SAVSYS tape we send.  (We only do a SAVSYS 3-4
times a year). They bring us to the point where we walk in to the "IPL or
Install the System" screen.

When we start the procedure where we select option 2 - "Install the
Operating system", should the SAVSYS tapecontinue to be in the drive, or
should the tape of our latest SAVLIB *IBM be in the drive?  (This save gets
done more often than the SAVSYS).

TIA,
Scott
