This page collects the most frequent questions asked by the users of this utility.
1. How can I shrink (reduce to a minimum size) the storage allocated by virtual volumes?
Use the following procedure to initialize the virtual volumes (all data there will be lost) of a given image catalog
and to reduce to a minimum the allocated storage:
- Type command VRTSAV/WRKIMG to list all the image catalogs known to the VRTSAV utility
- Select with option 7=Initialize_virtual_volumes the image catalog you care for, and press Enter.
2. What happens if the image catalog transferred to the remote system via command TFRVRTDTA cannot fit in the available disk space?
- As soon as no more disk space is available, the FTP would end transferring the data.
- A warning message would be sent to QSYSOPR, telling that a critical condition exists on the disk space.
- On the remote system, follow the procedure in FAQ no 1 to reduce to a minimum the storage allocated by
offending virtual volume(s).
3. On a partition I have defined a scheduled job to perform daily saves through command
VRTSAV/VRTSAVSYS TFRVRTDTA(*YES) DUPTAP(*YES) .
In this way the save is sent to a second partition and stored on tape.
How can I have the daily save from the second partition also saved on the same tape?
On the first partition (the one sending the save to the second partition), run command
VRTSAV/DFNRMTSYS (see figure 3a).
On parameter Finishing command type the name of the command that you are using in the second partition
to perform the daily save to tape.
In this way, as soon as the transfer of the save from the first to the send partition completes
and the virtual tape is copied to the real tape, the Finishing command is executed and the save is written on the same tape.
