Message . . . . :   Error decompressing file /X.
Cause . . . . . :   An error occurred while trying to decompress data read from a tape, diskette, or optical volume.  The data should have been compressed when it was written to the file.  The error occurred while processing file &2 in library &3 on device OPTVRT01.                          
At the same time, VLOGs VL07000104 and VL07000195 are logged.

This problem occurs because an error occurred transferring image file to iSeries (using FTP). Even if file size of the image is correct, comparing the file with MD5 checksum shows a difference between target and source.

To fix the problem, the image should be transferred again and then the restore will work.
