Re: fed up downloading from Entitled Software

[Thomas Garvey <tgarvey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, so I've got all the ESS downloads on my IFS and Image Catalog has 
all the entries added.
So, the next step in preparing for upgrading v7r1 to v7r3 says to Load 
the Image catalog, thusly...

LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(V7R3) DEV(VRTOPT) OPTION(*LOAD)

It still fails with OPT1390 (Error with virtual volume image).
Originally, this was failing on the first entry in the Image Catalog 
(I_BASE_01), which led me (and others here) to think
I needed a PTF to correct the issue. Apparently that wasn't the issue 
because now I get through the first two entries before a failure.

Work with Image Catalog Entries
System:
Catalog  . . :   V7R3                    Status . . . :   Not ready
Type . . . . :   Optical                 Device . . . :
Directory  . : /catalog_directory

Type options, press Enter.
  1=Add   2=Change       4=Remove   6=Mount   8=Load 9=Unload
  10=Initialize volume   12=Work with volume

Opt   Index  Status      Image File Name

F8=Reorder by index    F12=Cancel   F24=More keys


So, does this mean there is something wrong with the download of the 
B_GROUP1_02 file?
If not, what am I missing here?
If yes, why doesn't the call to QVOIFIMG catch this?
(When I use the ADDIMGCLGE command to load an individual DVD I get a 
message that says 'verifying image contents...'
before it says it's loading it. Does the QVOIFIMG not work similarly?)

Should I add each Catalog Image Entry individually instead of the call 
to QVOIFIMG?

I'm starting to worry that I have to download each file, add it to the 
Image Catalog, try the LODIMGCLG command to see of it's an OK download.

Any suggestions?

Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
