burning data CD and DVD

[dik]

Hi ,
I have HP-UX 11.31 box.
I want to burn data DVD.
What commands and options should I specify to achieve this?


Thanks,
Dik

In the past, there was a special depot for 11.11 and 11.23:

The needed tools are now included in ignite/UX (growisofs, makeisofs ...) and should be already installed on your system, check for example
# whereis growisofs

You'll find docs in the link above or the ignite documentation

Dik,

this function already built in ignite-ux

See this link
http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-7999/ch11s03.html

You can find both scripts in the directory

/opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples.

Detailed usage information is available via

#make_media_install -?

and summary information is available via

#make_opticaldisc_recovery -?

Another way to do it, is using these opensource-tools (cdrtools):

They work on most *n*x-platforms, if you ever need to use them on other than hp-ux.

Shalom,

Current supported DVD writers support only the 4 GB RW+ format.

Take that into consideration in planning.

Hi,

see the man pages of 'growisofs' and 'mkisofs'.
I use it this way:
growisofs -Z /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 -r -U -max-iso9660-filenames
To test it first, use the option 'dry-run':
growisofs -Z /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 -dry-run -r -U -max-iso9660-filenames
