Full Discussion: BFF to ISO conversion
Operating Systems AIX BFF to ISO conversion Post 302572698 by theaixeman on Thursday 10th of November 2011 04:40:59 PM
Old 11-10-2011
I cant ftp at this point...basically the box has no lpars on it...added it to HMC but is now stuck at BA210000 - default catch. Trying to figure out how to fix that...but once done, want to install 5.3 on it and I only have bff images on my windows laptop. Need to burn an ISO image is my understanding. I thought a bff image is only bootable from a disk(or tape). Maybe I am not understanding this ISO process correctly.
