RE: Tape/Library Question

Hi Rob and thanks. I am WAYU green on this having been stuck on an old
release and old hardware for so long before we FINALLY got current...

OK I see:

Creating an image catalog and add volumes using the i5/OS(r) command
line
These commands examples show how to create an image catalog and add
volumes as part of the CRTIMGCLG command.

CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(MYCATALOG) DIR('/MYCATALOGDIRECTORY')
TYPE(*TAP)(Create an empty tape catalog)

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(MYCATALOG) FROMFILE(*NEW) TOFILE
MYIMAGEFILE) IMGSIZ(2000) (Add 1 new tape
volume with a size of 2GB)

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(MYCATALOG) FROMFILE(*NEW)
TOFILE(MYIMAGEFILE) IMGSIZ(2000)
(Add 1 new tape volume with a size of 2GB)

CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(MYCATALOG) DIR('/MYCATALOGDIRECTORY')
TYPE(*TAP) ADDVRTVOL(2) IMGSIZ(2000)
(Create the tape catalog and add 2, 2GB tape volumes)

How does that get associated with the virtual tape device I created?

Thanks,

Chuck
