Notes for MKDVD command:
The mkdvd command always calls the mksysb command with the flags to extend /tmp.
Enter the file system or directory in which to store the mksysb image. This can be a file
system you created in the rootvg, in another volume group, or in NFS mounted file systems
with read-write access. If left blank, the mkdvd command creates the file system and
removes it when the command completes.
If you did not enter information in the file system field, you can select to have the mkdvd
command either create these file systems in the rootvg, or in another volume group. If the
default of rootvg is chosen and a mksysb image is being created, the mkdvd command adds
the file systems to the exclude file and calls the mksysb command with the exclude files
option -e.
Do you want the DVD to be bootable? If you select no, you must boot from a product CD at
the same version.release.maintenance level, and then select to install the system backup
from the system backup DVD.
If you intend to use an Install bundle file, enter the full path name to the bundle file. The
mkdvd command copies the file into the DVD file system. You must have the bundle file
already specified in the BUNDLES field, either in the bosinst.data file of the mksysb image or
in a user-specified bosinst.data file. When this option is used to have the bundle file placed
on the DVD, the location in the BUNDLES field of the bosinst.data file must be as follows:
/../usr/sys/inst.data/user_bundles/bundle_file_name Do we need to do this?
Additional packages can be placed on the DVD by entering the name of the file that contains
the packages list in the File with list of packages to copy to DVD field. The format of this file
is one package name per line.
If you are planning to install one or more bundles after the mksysb image is restored, follow
the directions in the previous step to specify the bundle file. You can then use this option to
have packages listed in the bundle available on the DVD. If this option is used, you must also
specify the location of installation images in the next step.
