<div><p>You can use virtual optical storage for all operations that can
|
|
write to actual media with the following exceptions.</p>
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Main storage dump in SST and DST</dt>
|
|
<dd>System service tools (SST) and dedicated services tools (DST) provide
|
|
the capability to perform a main storage dump to media. You cannot use virtual
|
|
optical storage for a main storage dump to media.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Save Licensed Internal Code</dt>
|
|
<dd>The Save Licensed Internal Code function is only available at the Initial
|
|
Program Load (IPL) display or at the Install the Operating System display.
|
|
Because the integrated file system is not available when these functions are
|
|
used, the virtual optical device will not have any loaded media.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">PTFs</dt>
|
|
<dd>If you build a custom fix package and save it to a virtual image, you
|
|
cannot span volumes. Your custom fix package must fit on one volume.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">IBM<sup>®</sup> Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> Server
|
|
for iSeries™</dt>
|
|
<dd>Integrated xSeries Server
|
|
hardware does not support write operations to virtual images.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Backup and recovery</dt>
|
|
<dd>You only perform a restore operation from virtual images if the server
|
|
is already up and running. Installations done by using an image catalog require
|
|
a command line to start an installation.</dd>
