Save storage (Licensed Internal Code data and disk unit data)

The save storage process copies the Licensed Internal Code and all of the disk unit data to tape. The media volume that the server produces is a sector-by-sector copy of all permanent data on configured disk units. You cannot restore individual objects from the save tape.

Note: You should use the save and restore storage processes for disaster backup and recovery along with the standard commands for saving and restoring. This procedure is not intended to be used for copying or distributing data to other servers. IBM® does not support using the processes for saving and restoring storage as a means to distribute the Licensed Internal Code and the operating system to other servers.
