You need the DVD!

Use a PC based burning program or "dd" from hp-ux to create the ISO file.

Hope this helps!

Shalom,

No senthil, you will need to take the DVD install media and use dd to make the iso yourself.

Assuming you have a software contract, you can use your DVD as a the source and create your own iso.

I don't know what you are going to do with it. HP-UX has a very hard time mounting iso files.

> [...] in ISO format.

ISO is a standards organization.

http://www.iso.org

When you get there, search for "9660".
ISO-9660 is a CD-ROM file system standard.

"dd" can create an image of the CD/DVD. It's
an ISO-9660 image if the CD/DVD contained an
ISO-9660 file system. If an HP-UX CD/DVD
contains some other file system, then "dd"
can create an image of it, but it will not
be an ISO-9660 image.

Calling a CD/DVD image "an ISO" is common,
but it is misleading.

The cdrtools package also includes a
"readcd" program, which is a bit more
convenient than "dd".

One could make a DVD from it.

Of course, this whole discussion may have
little to do with the real problem, about
which we know approximately nothing. If the
real question is, "Where can I download an
HP-UX installation DVD image?", then the
answer has little to do with which format is
used on the DVD.

HP-UX is not available for download. You need to buy media kits from HP.

Based on other threads from senthil_kumar I'm sure he will use the ISOs to install virtual machines. This is many tomes faster than using real media. "dd" copies work fine, so I suggest to use this.

Hope this helps!
