Verify entire system save?

[marsias]

Hello.

I had perform a GO SAVE Option 21 save.

According to a IBM document, i must see in History log, msg like
CPC3702,CPC3707... etc

But nothing to see any of CPCXXXXX?

In my dsplog i have after ENDSBS(* ALL) folowing:

SAVE SYSTEM(SAVSYS) command has Completed processing.

10 objects saved from LIBXXX
50 Objects saved from LIBYYY
............
..........
...........

58 LIBRARYS are saved.
5000 Object are saved.

And than, restarts the System.

How can else insure that go save was succesfolly?

Thanks.

PS: Release are 4v5

The CPC* messages IBM are referring to are message ID's (numbers). Not
the text itself.

As far as I can see from your log, the SAVE has completed normally. To
see the message ID's, you can place the cursor in the line og one of
the messages, and press F1 to see additional information.

Hello Niels.

Thank you, your are right.

I have another question about GO SAVE.

I had try to SAVE the entire system to a NEW, BLANK Tape.

I saw in a used tape(dsptap) what are the format of the tape:

Volume ID: BACKUP
DEnsity: *MLR3
Code: *EBCDIC
Type: *SL

I envoke a INZ tape for the new tape, with following parameters:

New Volume ID: *NONE
NEW owner ID: *BLANK
Check of active files: *NO
Density: *MLR3
CODE : *EBCDIC
Clear : *NO

After i started the GO SAVE (21) command , i had a MSGW on qsysopr
which says : Wrong type of tape with the options (C, INZ, R). After i
answered the msg with INZ, the command has NOT Resumed?

I try this 2-3 times with the same result(DSCJOB and again go save(21)
etc).

Finally, i have used a used tape with no problems.

What is here wrong??

Thank you.

I am not clear on the results of the INZ action, as to why it does or
perhaps can not effect a volume identifier as *SL [standard label] and
allow the tape to be used, but the problem is almost surely for having
initialized the tape as *NL [unlabled].
The SAVxxx & RSTxxx commands operate on standard label tapes, which
means there is a Volume Identifier [if not also other attributes].
Refer to the full help text for the NEWVOL() parameter on INZTAP. The
help text on the CLEAR() parameter for SAVxxx alludes to the standard
label requirement by suggesting to "initialize tapes to a standard label
format before the save command is issued by using the Initialize Tape
(INZTAP) command and specifying a value for the NEWVOL parameter."
Additionally it is noted that if "a volume that is not initialized is
encountered during the save operation, an inquiry message is sent and an
operator can initialize the volume." The tape in the described scenario
was initialized, but not as *SL. Perhaps there is a restriction for the
INZ response to the inquiry, to effect the change from *NL to *SL.?

Next time output the results to a file and query that (it should tell
you what was or was not saved) or DSPTAP DEV(TAP01) DATA(*SAVRST) to
get a LARGE listing of every object written to tape. I think you even
get a separate report for the IFS.

Chris is correct.

You need to have a value in the volume ID. I usually go with VOL001 or
something like that.

default DENSITY param of INZTAP is *DEVTYPE.

If you never use this type of cartrige, you can think about
CHGCMDDFT INZTAP DENSITY(xxxxxx) where xxxxxx is your tape density.
