Thanks samsungsamsung
My doubt is wether DVD-ROM drive allows me to write the mksysb image on to the DVD or is it only for reading the content already present on the DVD.
In one of the AIX Documents, it says for backup on a DVD, we need 7201 DVD-RAM Drive, but what i have is a DVD-ROM drive, so will it allow me to write on the DVD inserted in the DVD-ROM Drive.

Hi,
Is it possible to use mkdvd to create a bootable DVD using a mksysb on tape as the source image?
On the system concerned, we don't have enough free space to create the mksysb to file first, so would like to use the existing tape mksysb backup.
The DVD disk/s will then be used to boot a... (4 Replies)
