|
<div><p>When you use virtual tape devices, you create virtual tape volumes
|
|
that exist on your server disk units. </p>
|
|
<p>Virtual tape devices can perform the same tasks as physical tape except
|
|
for the following:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Install of base i5/OS™ (RSTLICPGM is supported)</li>
|
|
<li>SAVSTG</li>
|
|
<li>Dump to media from SST and DST</li>
|

|
|
An <span class="uicontrol">image catalog entry</span> displays information
|
|
about the virtual volume within an image catalog and contains
|
|
information about a virtual image located in the image catalog directory. </li>

Spanning occurs when the volumes have files that continue from one volume to the next.</li>

|

The density (format) parameter controls the optimum block size that the volume will use so the created volume will be compatible for duplication to your physical tape device.</li>
