Hello,

I think in your case, some filesets are missing. try running the command lppchk to see if there is any fileset needed. I do not know whther they are optional driver filesets. anyway, please check below link
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/c...0-000014170042

I usually follow the below procedure, If I would like to create a bootable image (mksysb) of AIX OS. (i never received any errors)


1) generate mksysb using smitty mksysb or using command with appropriate options
2) It will create a mksysb (rootvvg) on to a file.
3) convert that mksysb image to bootable ISO image
4) then use mkcd command to make it CD/DVD bootable
5) you can copy this image to any virtual oprtical disk or any

just an example;
Code:
mkcd -L -S -I /tmp/mksysb_backups/final_cd_iso_imagedir -m /tmp/mksysb_backups/mksysbfile

Initializing mkcd log: /var/adm/ras/mkcd.log...
Verifying command parameters...
Creating temporary file system: /mkcd/cd_fs...
Populating the CD or DVD file system...
Building chrp boot image...
Copying backup to the CD or DVD file system...

Creating Rock Ridge format image: /tmp/mksysb_backups/final_cd_iso_imagedir/cd_image_712121000

I hope this helps.

NAME

       dares - rescue files from damaged CDs and DVDs

SYNOPSIS

       dares -i image -s path [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]
       dares-qt [-i image] [-s path] [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Dares  scans  a	CD/DVD image or a CD/DVD and tries to find files. It does not depend on filesystem information, but instead uses the Magic
       library to identify files. Doing it this way Dares can recover files even when the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged  and
       cannot be mounted anymore.

       Dares can use H2cdimage (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip) files to rescue data from heavily damaged optical discs.

OPTIONS

       -i     CD/DVD image file or device.

       -s     Directory where the rescued  files shall be stored.

       -h2i   Optional h2i file for the CD/DVD image.

       -a     Store all found files without any user interaction.

       -m     Use Mime types instead of a description.	-l Logfile (default: dares.log)
