Re: Help with Virtual Tape Save

William

When I do similar (optical volumes not tapes) I do the following;

AddImgClge --(add an image to the catalog I have to load 3 images to hold
the save)
Lodiimgclg dev(optvrt01) --(connect the catalog with a virtual device)
Lodimgclge IMGCLGIDX(*FIRST) --(mount the first image )
Inzopt (format the virtual image)
LodImgClgE IMGCLGIDX(*NEXT) --(2nd image)
InzOpt
LodImgClgE IMGCLGIDX(*NEXT) --(3rd image)
InzOpt
LodImgClgE IMGCLGIDX(*FIRST) -- (makes the first image ready again)

Save command

If you overflow the size of the image for tape or opitcal, you will get a
similar message to what you have described.

I have created a virtual tape on our Iseries for nightly saves.
When I run the following command, I get an error.

"SAVLIB LIB(WJMWORK) DEV(TAPVRT01) "
Device TAPVRT01 was not ready or next volume was not loaded. (C R)

This is how I added the new image catalog entry:
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(TAPVRTSAVE) FROMFILE(*new) TOFILE(vol001)
IMGSIZ(10000) TEXT('Add Image Catalog Entry') ALCSTG(*IMGSIZ)
VOLNAM(VOL001) VOLTYP(*SL)
DENSITY(*VRT256K)

Image catalog entry added to image catalog TAPVRTSAVE.

I have made sure that tapvrt01 is varied on.

Any suggestion on what I might have done wrong or ideal would be greatly
appreciated.
