Operating Systems AIX Using mkdvd to create bootable mksysb on dvd reports success but nothing on dvd? Post 302967693 by c3rb3rus on Friday 26th of February 2016 12:04:25 PM

Hey bakunin,

From what I gathered if I run "mkdvd" to create my mksysb and don't specify -d device it does not create all the necessary stuff to make the ISO bootable in case we need to restore AIX?

This is why I was trying to use mkdvd and burn in one line...
Code:
mkdvd -e -V rootvg -R -C /usr1/AIXADMIN/mkcd/cd_fs -I /usr1/AIXADMIN/mkcd/cd_images -M /usr1/AIXADMIN/mkcd/mksysbimage -d /dev/cd0 -Y
