Saving Linux server objects in IBM i
When a Linux logical partition uses IBM® i resources, i stores Linux information in i objects. IBM i can restore the objects correctly only if you save all objects for a Linux logical partition.
You can save these objects by using options of the i GO SAVE command in the server.
- Option 21 saves the entire server.
- Option 22 saves server data, which includes objects in the QUSRSYS library.
- Option 23 saves all user data, which includes objects in the QFPNWSSTG library.
If you want to save a particular object, use the following table to see the location of that object on i and the command to use.
| Object content | Object name | Object location | Object type | Save command |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guest partition and virtual disk drive | stgspc | /QFPNWSSTG | User-defined network-server storage spaces in system auxiliary storage pool (ASP) | GO SAV, option 21 or 23 |
| SAV OBJ('/QFPNWSSTG/stgspc') DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') | ||||
| User-defined network-server storage spaces in user ASP | SAV OBJ(('/QFPNWSSTG/stgspc') ('/dev/QASPnn /stgspc.UDFS')) DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') |
| Object content | Object name | Object location | Object type | Save command |
