Creating a ISO image

Hi,
I am trying to create a bootable DVD to install HP.11.11. I am following the ignite-UX administration guide on how to build a Installation DVD. After successfully following the steps till I get to this command

/opt/ignite/lbin/mkisofs \
-D -R -U -max-iso9660-filenames \
-eltorito-alt-boot \
-no-emul-boot \
-b B.11.11.lifimage \
o /software/oracle/ARCHIVE_IGNITE/B.11.11.iso \
/software/oracle/ARCHIVE_IGNITE/image

it simply does not work or the command does not create an iso image.

Can someone please tell me what am i doing wrong in here.

MY FILES:

HOST03 ==> pwd
/software/oracle/ARCHIVE_IGNITE
HOST03 ==> ls -l
total 4543936
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Mar 9 14:43 image
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 2326482589 Feb 28 12:12 host03.B.11.11.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 533 Mar 9 14:33 temp_impacts
HOST03 ==> cd image
HOST03 ==> ls -l
total 201122
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 6839 Mar 9 14:41 B.11.11.archives.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 102959104 Mar 9 14:44 B.11.11.lifimage

Re: Creating a ISO image

Hi,
and welcome to the forums !

Could you please supply the log of caommands up to this point.
Is the command above an EXACT copy - in which case you are misstyping the "-o" option.

Please let us know the messages you get on failure.

And once you have your ISO Image:

Re: Creating a ISO image

Hi Gordon thanks for the quick response

I am sorry I made a mistake typing here in the forum but I am using -o in the machine
After I hit enter following the above mentioned command it does not throw back error messages or anything, it just goes to # prompt.

I was able to create one ISO yesterday but the name of the ISO was wrong so I deleted it and since then I am trying to create one, the command does not throw any messages or errors..

Re: Creating a ISO image

You could in theory use tusc to trace the system calls the command makes to see if any of them are failing - perhaps it isn't emitting error messages like it should.

Re: Creating a ISO image

Not really,

The problem started after i created the first one and deleted it.

After i deleted the first ISO image i tried creating a new one but since then it does not create any ISO image nor it displays some sort of error messages
