Start of changeBack up iSCSI NWSCFGs and validation listsEnd of change

For servers attached by iSCSI HBAs, the additional configuration objects are stored in the QUSRSYS library. These include the network server configuration objects (type *NWSCFG) and an associated validation list object (type *VLDL).

Note:
The *NWSCFG and *VLDL objects will share the same name.

To save the network server configuration and validation list objects, use the Save Object (SAVOBJ) command:

  1. If you are saving to tape, ensure that you have mounted a tape that is formatted for i5/OS™.
  2. Shut down the Windows server to release any object locks.
  3. On the i5/OS command line, type SAVOBJ and press F4.
  4. In the Objects field, specify the NWSCFG names. If default names were used, specify the generic name nwsdname*.
  5. In the Library field, specify QUSRSYS.
  6. If you are saving the objects to tape, specify the name of your tape device in the Device field (for example, TAP01). If you want to use a save file instead of tape, specify *SAVF as the device and enable the data compression option.
  7. For Object type, specify both *NWSCFG and *VLDL.
  8. If you are using a save file, press F10 to see additional parameters.
  9. In the Save file field, specify the path to your save file (for example winbackup/nwscfg).
  10. If you are using a save file, page down change the value for Data compression to *YES.
