<p>The Save System using BRM (SAVSYSBRM) command saves a copy of the Licensed Internal Code and the QSYS library in a format compatible with the installation of the operating system. It does not save objects from any other library. In addition, it saves security and configuration objects that can also be saved using the Save Security Data (SAVSECDTA) and Save Configuration (SAVCFG) commands.
</p>
<p>Virtual tape media and devices can be used with this command. The following restrictions apply to the use of virtual media and virtual devices.
</p>
<ul>
<li>The <b>Device (DEV) </b>parameter is limited on only one device or *MEDCLS special value for serial operations.
</li>
<li>Execute authority is required to the Load or Unload Image Catalog (LODIMGCLG) command.
</li>
<li>*CHANGE authority is required to the image catalogs.
</li>
<li>Execute (*X) authority is required to each directory in the image catalog path name.
</li>
<li>Read, write, execute (*RWX) authority is required to each image file in the parent directory that will be loaded or mounted.
</li>
<li>*USE authority is required to the virtual devices using the image catalogs.
</li>
</ul>
<p>To use this command, you must have the Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries, 5722-BR1, licensed program installed.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions: </b>
</p>
<ol>
<li>You must have authority to the SAVSYS command to use this command.
</li>
<li>You must have *SAVSYS special authority to use this command.
</li>
<li>You must have *USE authority to all online auxiliary storage pool devices.
</li>
<li>All subsystems will be ended when using the SAVSYSBRM command. You must have job control (*JOBCTL) authority to use the ENDSYS or the ENDSBS command.
</li>
<li>Volumes created using this command that will be used for installation should be initialized with a media class with a density that is supported by the current alternate IPL device. If this is not done, the current IPL volume will have to be changed to a device that supports the density of the created SAVSYSBRM volumes before installation begins.
</li>
<li>Volumes created using the SAVSYSBRM command cannot be used for automatic installation.
</li>
<li>The media class associated with the device must specify Shared media *NO.
</li>
<li>This command should not be used by control group *EXIT item processing as results will be unpredictable.
</li>
