The following diagram shows the system from the perspective of the different file systems available. It shows which SAVxxx commands you can use to save each file system that you use.
Important: For procedures where the system does not require a restricted state, you must ensure that the system can get the locks necessary to save the information. A restricted state is recommended whenever you save multiple libraries, documents, or directories, unless you use the save-while-active function
If you are saving data on a logical partition with Linux® installed, you must use Option 21. See View entire GO SAVE checklist. If you want to save only that logical partition, or selected data from that partition, you must use third party software.
The diagram shows the save commands that can be used for different file systems:
- The root (/) file system is saved with SAV.
- QSYS.LIB can be saved with SAVSYS, SAVCFG, SAVSECDTA, SAVLIB, SAVOBJ, SAVCHGOBJ, or SAV.
- QDLS (Document library services) can be saved with SAVDLO, or SAV.
- QOpenSys Open systems) is saved with SAV.
- QNetware (Novell Netware) is saved with SAV.
- Domino® server data directory (Domino for iSeries™) is saved with SAV.
- User-defined file systems (/dev/QASPxx/) or (/dev/asp-name/) are saved with SAV.
- Other file systems are saved with SAV as well.
- NFS
- QFileSvr.400
