Author Subject: Make ignite DVD without an ignite server      Add to my favorites

I need to make an install DVD for one of my systems. I would like to include other volume groups in this install DVD. I know I can do this with make_tape_recovery, but this system does not have a tape drive. I ran the make_media_install and it created an image.iso file but I am not sure if this is just a boot disk or an install disk or if it included other volume groups. Is there a way to create this Ignite DVD that includes other volume groups without an Ignite Server?

No Ignite server required.

cd /opt/ignite/data/scripts/examples
# ./make_media_install

It will try to write an iso to a dvd in the server. But at step 6 it will fail .. you can download the iso and burn it on your desktop.

/var/opt/ignite/media/image.iso

=== Step 6: Write image file to tape/CD/DVD media ===
+ /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs -Z /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0=/var/opt/ignite/media/image.iso
:-[ LOAD TRAY failed with SK=5h/ASC=24h/ACQ=00h]: I/O error
+ Error 83 /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs failed.
./make_media_install: ERROR: /opt/ignite/lbin/growisofs failed.

For help on the command.
# ./make_media_install -help
