5.2.2 Create a CD-ROM/ISO Image
Follow the procedure below to create a CD-ROM image which can be accessed by the host
system via the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE.
First, on your client PC you must create an image of your CD which can be accessed by the
host system.
UNIX and UNIX-like OS
To create an image file, make use of dd. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is included
in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).
To create a CDROM image file, copy the contents of the CD-ROM to a file. You can use the
following command:
dd [ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]
dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/cdrom, and saves the output in the specified
output file /tmp/cdrom.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.).
