RE: Help with Virtual Tape Save -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks,
That did it. Was able to save to virtual tape and restore.
How do I save the virtual file to tape?

Tommy,
Sorry took me so long to response back. I wanted to call 'savlib' from
CL.
When do I find opt6?
Thanks,
William

Did you take option 6 on the entry to *mount* the tape prior to trying
to save to the drive?

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.
