<h1 class="topictitle1">Save to multiple devices to reduce your save window</h1>
<div><p>Use these save methods to decrease your save window by saving to
multiple devices.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Set up saves to multiple devices</h4><p>You can reduce
your save window by using multiple devices. When you save to multiple devices
you can use one of two techniques. You can issue a single save operation as
one job, or you can issue multiple save operations as several jobs.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Single save operation</h4><p>Save (or restore) operations
identify a media file by the device (DEV), sequence number (SEQNBR), volume
identifiers (VOL), and file label (LABEL) parameters. These parameters only
allow one media file to be identified. However, a parallel save (or restore)
operation uses more than one media file. You can solve this problem by using
a media definition. </p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A media definition (*MEDDFN) allows
you to identify more than one media file. A media definition defines the devices,
sequence numbers, and volume identifiers that the parallel save operation
will use. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A media definition also allows
you to specify whether to save the data in parallel or serial format and whether
to use dynamic device allocation.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />You create a media definition
by using the Create Media Definition (QsrCreateMediaDefinition (ILE) or QSRCRTMD
(OPM)) API.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Multiple save operation</h4><p>When you issue multiple
save operations to save different sets of data to different media devices,
you perform <em>concurrent</em> saves. The following scenarios provide some
examples of situations when you may want to perform concurrent saves within
the Integrated File System. </p>
<ul><li>Save the complete Integrated File System structure and all user libraries
concurrently: <pre>SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT))
SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(TAP02)</pre>
</li>
<li>Save separate unmounted user-defined file systems concurrently: <pre>SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') OBJ(('/dev/udfs-directory/udfs-01.udfs')
SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP02.DEVD') OBJ(('/dev/udfs-directory/udfs-02.udfs')</pre>
