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?

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.

cdde - Compact Disc Detect & Execute
SYNOPSIS
cdde [-c filename] [-rbvVh]
DESCRIPTION
cdde is a program that detects when a cdrom drive on your system has had a disc inserted.
When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of the disc, and execute a specified command.
This means you can put in a dvd and your favorite dvd software will start, or put in a data cd and it will be automatically mounted for
you.
Right now cdde can detect the following types of discs:
* audio cd
* data cd
* dvd
* mixed audio/data cd
* vcd
* svcd
* blank cdr/dvdr
For now the dvd checking is just a bit of magic that checks to see if there's a "video_ts" directory on the disc. Same goes for the vcd
checking: it just looks for a "vcd" directory on the disc.
cdde reads its configuration from "~/.cdde.xml" unless otherwise specified on the command line.
OPTIONS -r, --run
Run commands on disc already in drive when is started.
-b, --batch
Batch mode: check all drives once then exit. (implies -r)
-c, --config <filename>
Use the config file <filename>. (Default is ~/.cdde.xml)
-v, --verbose
Print out lots of information.
-V, --version
Print out version information.
-h, --help
Print Display this help and exit.
