The Save System using BRM (SAVSYSBRM) command saves a copy of the Licensed Internal Code and the QSYS library in a format compatible with the installation of the operating system.

Virtual tape media and devices can be used with this command. The following restrictions apply to the use of virtual media and virtual devices.
. The Device (DEV) parameter is limited on only one device or *MEDCLS special value for serial operations.
. Execute authority is required to the Load or Unload Image Catalog (LODIMGCLG) command.
. *CHANGE authority is required to the image catalogs.
. Execute (*X) authority is required to each directory in the image catalog path name.
. Read, write, execute (*RWX) authority is required to each image file in the parent directory that will be loaded or mounted.
