Image catalog entry for virtual optical storage
An image catalog entry is a position within
an image catalog that contains information about a virtual image that is located
in the image catalog directory.
Examples of image catalog entry information include a file name of the
virtual image, a volume identifier, the index position in the catalog, access
information, write-protection information, and a text description of the image.
The following are the possible statuses of an image catalog entry. If the
image catalog is in a ready state, these statuses represent the current status
of the image catalog entry. If the image catalog is in a not ready state,
these statuses represent what the status of the image catalog entry will be
when the image catalog is put in a ready state.
- Mounted
- The virtual image associated with the selected image catalog entry is
active or loaded in the active virtual device. The mounted virtual image is
the available virtual image that can be seen by using the Work with Catalog
Entries (WRKIMGCLGE) or Work with Optical Volumes (WRKOPTVOL) command. Only
one virtual image can be in mounted status at a time
- Loaded
- The virtual image associated with the selected image catalog entry is
active or loaded in the selected virtual optical device.
- Unloaded
- The virtual image associated with the selected image catalog entry is
not active or not loaded in the active virtual optical device. Only image
catalog entries with a status of mounted or loaded can be accessed through
the virtual optical device.
