Hi,

I am trying to setup virtual optical repository..as part of it,i am trying to create an iso image using options "mkcd -L -S -I " from the existing mksysb image. But it looks like the size is more than 4.3GB and there are 2*iso files getting created with names vol1 and vol2...in this case,how can i allocate this iso image to virtual adapter to install new lpars ..?

any possible options to allow the iso image to be more than 4.3GB (which is dvd image size..) or can i combine 2*iso files in aix..?

pls let me know..

I think you need to look at loadopt and unloadopt commands. During boot, when opted to change the disk you can assign the second CD to the vopt device.

Please remove volume 1, insert volume 2, and press the ENTER key.

then just unload 1 and load 2 on vios
