<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Ensure that the server has enough disk space</strong></span> <p>Ensure
that the server has enough disk space to hold all the virtual images you are
going to create. Refer to the Image catalog requirements listed in <a href="../rzam4/rzam4virtualprep.htm">Prepare for virtual optical
storage</a> for information about disk space requirements for virtual images. </p>

</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Create an image catalog</strong></span> <p>Create an image catalog
for the licensed programs that you want to distribute. The Create Image Catalog
(CRTIMGCLG) command associates an image catalog with a target directory where
the optical image files are loaded. </p>
<samp class="codeph">CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(<em>catalog-name</em>)
DIR(<em>catalog-path</em>) CRTDIR(*YES) TEXT(<em>image-catalog-name</em>)</samp></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Add an image catalog entry</strong></span> <p>Add a new image
catalog entry with a size of 48MB to 16GB. The minimum size of the first volume
must be 1489MB. If you plan to save the full operating system, add a new image
catalog entry with a size of 4GB. If you plan to duplicate image catalogs
to DVD, then ensure you select a virtual image size that matches the size
of the DVD media you plan to write to. </p>
<p>If you want to save to a 4.7GB
DVD, for example, use the following command to create the proper image size:</p>
<p><samp class="codeph">ADDIMGCLGE
IMGCLG(<em>catalog-name</em>) FROMFILE(*NEW) TOFILE(<em>file-name</em>) SIZE(*DVD4700)
TEXT(<em>text-description</em>)</samp></p>
<p>If you want to save to CD-ROM
media of 650MB or greater, use the following command to create the proper
image size:</p>
<p><samp class="codeph">ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(<em>catalog-name</em>) FROMFILE(*NEW)
TOFILE(<em>file-name</em>) SIZE(*CD650) TEXT(<em>text-description</em>)</samp></p>
<p>Repeat
this step for the number of desired images. You should add the images in the
same order as you are going to install from them.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Load the image catalog</strong> </span> <p>This step associates
the virtual optical device to the image catalog. Up to 35 virtual optical
devices can be active.</p>
<p><samp class="codeph">LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(<em>catalog-name</em>)

</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Initialize the new volume</strong></span> <p><samp class="codeph">INZOPT NEWVOL(MYSAVEVOL1)
DEV(<em>virtual-device-name</em>) TEXT(<em>'volume text'</em>)</samp></p>
<p>Repeat
this step for the number of new images you want to initialize. Use the WRKIMGCLGE
(Work with Image Catalog Entries) command to select the image to be initialized
or use the LODIMGCLGE (Load/Unload/Mount Image Catalog Entry) command to continue
to the next volume to be initialized.</p>
<p><samp class="codeph">LODIMGCLGE IMGCLG(MYCATALOG)
IMGCLGIDX(index_number) OPTION(*MOUNT)</samp></p>
<p>When you have completed
initializing the new volumes, leave the first entry in mounted status.</p>
