<h1 class="topictitle1">Create actual media from a virtual image</h1>
<div><p>Use these instructions to copy a virtual image to an optical disk.</p>
<div class="section"><p>One of the advantages to using virtual optical storage is that
you can copy virtual images to actual media. If you plan to copy your virtual
images to actual media, you must ensure that they are the correct format and
the correct size.</p>
<p>The Image size (IMGSIZ) parameter of the Add Image
Catalog Entry (ADDIMGCLGE) command has these values that you can use to specify
the correct size for your virtual images:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">*CD650</dt>
<dd>The size of the virtual image is 650 MB. Images created with this size
can be written to any standard 650 MB media or larger.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">*DVD2600</dt>
<dd>The size of the virtual image is 2.6 GB. Images created with this size
can be written to any 2.6 GB media.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">*DVD4700</dt>
<dd>The size of the virtual image is 4.7 gigabytes. Images created with this
size can be written to any 4.7 GB media.</dd>
</dl>
<p>When you create a virtual image, the image is a pure byte
image. The server creates no headers in the image and uses no compression.</p>
