Re: PTF from Image Catalog loading from where?

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use WRKOPTVOL to check to see if anything else might be mounted.  Vary off all optical except the one your using.

He C684*.. is the volume name of the image.    It does not need to match the name of the file.    The error implies that file is mounted somewhere else already.
