RE: Savsys taking an awful long time to complete

Hi Paul,

It seems you have a decent tape drive.
To find out how many objects you will have to save can be cumbersome depending on how your system is set up.
To start with we can divide the objects in two major groups.
1. Those that belong to the qsys.lib file system and those can be counted with a dspobjd *all/*all *all outfile(L/F)
You can then check the # of records in the outfile.
2. Files and folders in the root file system ( I'm guessing that your 3'' objects belongs in here)
You can submit a job ( maybe long running ) with the following command: call qsrsrv parm("METRICS" '/')
Output will be a listing of your ifs contents with totals

Yes Stefan,

SAVE 21 is the actual command.

Well, I'm no where near the site right now. But this is configured as a
3580-004 and capabilities on TAPE properties hows this as being ULTRIUM
2/3/4 capable.

Is there anyway of seeing how many objects we 'need' to save prior to
doing
the actual save 21?

V6R1.
I currently have the savsys saying it's processed 3150764 objects.

You are actually running a SAVSYS or ( as I guess ) a Save 21?

If it is a save 21 then we are probably talking about IFS objects,

folders,

streamfiles.
You should probably check what's in the IFS before upgrading to 6.1.
What kind of tape device are you using? "Older" Ultrium devices is
extremely slow on small ifs objects.
