Burning a DVD from an ISO image
Using Linux
- If it is not already installed, install the Linux package "dvd+rw-tools". To determine if the package is installed, enter the following command:
rpm -qi dvd+rw-tools
- Download ISO image for the Installation Toolkit for Linux on POWER to your Linux system. You must have a DVD-Recorder drive installed on your system.
- Determine the DVD recorder device ID by executing the following command:
hwinfo -cdrom | grep "Device File"
In most cases the output of this command is:
Device File: /dev/sr0 (/dev/hdc)
- Insert a high-quality, blank DVD-R disk into the DVD recorder. Do not use DVD+R, DVD-RW or DVD-RAM.
- Issue the following command:
/usr/bin/growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc=<file>
where: <file> is the name of the ISO file.
Notes:
- You can use a different method to create a DVD from an ISO image. For example, if you have a PC with software that allows the creation of DVD media from an ISO image, then you can use that software to burn a DVD.
- Regardless of the method you use to create a DVD, use high-quality DVD-R media to ensure the best data transfer. Do not use DVD+R, DVD-RM or DVD-RAM media.
