Okay, a few options.
- Have a think about using /etc/exclude.rootvg to exclude things in the rootvg not critical to the OS. The way mksysb works, it builds a list of files and funnels them into backbyname (I hope that's right) but using the -e flag on mksysb allows you to pattern-match exclude files which match, so if you have /data, you can write a line in /etc/exclude.rootvg for ./data and it's content will not be written into the image. Hopefully this will fit on disk much easier.
.
- Can you NFS mount some space on another server that also has a DVD-RAM device? If so, you could use that to write a DVD based on a mksysb image written across the NFS.
Could you answer the questions above so we know what we're starting with? We've all inherited odd systems so hopefully there is nothing too shocking, even if it's only one volume group.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin
