Re: ios image

Do you mean ISO images?
From what? From data on disk or from DVD or CD media?

Hope this helps!

Re: ios image

So you can try with "dd", e.g.

# dd if=/ of=/tmp/ISOfile bs=2k

Hope this helps!

Re: ios image

I am not sure how you will burn this image onto a new DVD but this following command should work to create the ISO image:

dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 of=/depot/11.23.mcoe.image.iso bs=2k

(change the if descriptor according to your DVD drive's path)

There is not much of an advantage of creating ISO files unless you are planning to use them for VM installs. That is the only use that I can think of, for an ISO image.

Re: ios image

If you just want to copy a DVD to ISO you should use "dd" - if you want to create a DVD (via ISO) from a certain backup, you should use ignite.

Hope this helps!

Re: ios image

Hi Himacs

You are right you can create bootable DVD using make_media_install.

make_media_install script will be located in
/opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples/make_media_install


I hope this link might help you to get some
idea about make_media_install
