1) Same or different release of IBM i on the two systems?

2) Do you want/need the ALCSTG parm when importing existing images? I don't use it.

I have moved plenty of these between IBM i 7.1 systems with no issue. Both single and multiple volume tape catalogs.

I wanted to verify some tape backups to virtual tape.
I have them on one system as stream files. I ftp'ed them in binary to
another. Then on the receiving system I ran:

CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(VRTCLG) DIR('/vrtclg') TYPE(*TAP) CRTDIR(*NO)

Ownership of object VRTCLG in QUSRSYS type *IMGCLG changed.
Image catalog VRTCLG created in library QUSRSYS.

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(VRTCLG) FROMFILE('/vrtclg/vrt001') TOFILE(*fromfile)

ALCSTG(*IMGSIZ)
Image catalog entry added to image catalog VRTCLG.

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(VRTCLG) FROMFILE('/vrtclg/vrt002') TOFILE(*fromfile)

ALCSTG(*IMGSIZ)
Image file not valid for image catalogs of type *TAP.
