Could it be that the DVD itself is fine, but that you have not granted access to the HMC's DVD drive to that particular LPAR? I'm not by an HMC at the moment, but there are menu steps required to grant an LPAR physical access to the DVD drive. Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed

Pierre-Francois, This sounds promising, but I do not know how to create an ISO file. In ordering from ShopzSeries, ISO is one option, but it's deliverable only on an physical DVD. We are required by corporate policy to take delivery electronically. For internet delivery, only the '3390' option

hmm. What is the memory size of the LPAR? I had a weird situation a while back where the LPAR memory was too large. If it is larger than 32Gb try setting it to below 32Gb. Also have you tried a copy of the files and /CPDVD on a thumb drive? David Kreuter Original Message

mkisofs is the base program. xorriso is a program which can make a .iso file or burn an ISO, with Rock Ridge extensions as well as Joliet. Rock Ridge is the UNIX extension for UNIX attributes just as Joliet is for MS-Windows attributes. On Wed, Jan 29, 2014 at 1:13 PM, Skip Robinson

Hi, If it were me, I would get myself a Linux machine, install k3b and cdrtools and burn it from there. k3b does the right thing and gives good diagnostics when something goes wrong. You could even do this from VMware Workstation in a VM if you are on Windows. At least that takes the
