Re: Virtual tape - size and saving

Parent is sufficient. I store all of image catalogs in '/fixes' (except
virtual tape). And I've done the change you're doing.

Never mind on the size. I found out you can change it with CHGIMGCLGE.

All,

Doing some refreshing on virtual tape. I did some testing a couple of
years ago and decided at that time not to use it. Now I might.

What's the maximum size for a virtual volume? This page
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019030 suggests it's
1TB. Is that right? (Assuming you have that much available space to

begin

with.) Does it just expand automatically as you're saving to it?

Also, I've used image catalogs for what seems like forever and love

them.

All of mine are under '/ImageCatalogs'. I've always told BRMS to omit
'/ImageCatalogs' in saves. If I read it correctly on that same link

above,

it says I can achieve the same results by doing "CHGATR
OBJ('/ImageCatalogs') ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO)" I can't believe I

haven't

noticed that before. Do the rest of you have it set to *ALWSAV *NO?

Will

I need to do it on every folder within /ImageCatalogs or will doing it

on

the parent folder suffice?

Thanks.
