RE: V5R1 CUME CD Images Problem -- MIDRANGE-L

Charles,

Duh... I knew that (I think).

Thanks for the link. We had Roxio's Easy CD Creator at my previous
employer. All I can remember now that that I had to change the .bin to
.iso. The version that I bought is Roxio Creator 2011; it doesn't show much
in the way of options, but there is (I now see) a separate Roxio Burn
application, which may have the options outlined.

I have Nero at home, but don't remember seeing a Burn Image option. I may
check again, though.

Again, thanks for the link.

CD-ROM's can't be burnt... (ROM=Read Only Memory)

CD-R, CD+R are both one-time burnable CD media
CD-RW is rewritable...

I'm pretty sure CD-R should have worked, but you can try CD+R if you want.

According to this document,
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/SLKBase.nsf/c31a59769d9825d586256839004eeebe/74

You need to have selected, "Disk at Once" and "Close Disk" in the
Roxio software.

HTH,
Charles

Well,

I put a CD from an earlier CUME (one that came straight from IBM) into the
optical drive, and it read it just fine. So we can eliminate that as an
issue. Which means it's a user problem.

So do we care what type of CD is used? Are CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM

equally

usable? Actually, before sending this reply, I searched the 5.1 info

center

and finally found a manual (Optical Support, SC41-5310-02) that says

"CD-ROM

is a read-only format that is optimized for read performance. CD-ROMs are
ideal for wide-scale distribution of programs and data. The CD-ROM data
format is identical to the one that is used with personal computers. This
makes it possible to develop CD-ROMs for use in both personal computers

and

the AS/400 [sic] system. You can read CD-ROMs in either a CD-ROM or DVD
drive."

So it looks like I just bought the wrong type of CDs last week. Well,

they

still work on the PCs so they're not a total waste.

Jim,

I didn't know that there was a cleaning CD.

I just tried a music CD and ran WRKOPTVOL with defaults and WRKOPTVOL
DEV(OPT01) CSI(*NONE). Both returned the "Cannot find object to match
specified name" message. Like I told Charles, though, I used it just two
weeks ago to install OS features, but I guess, like cache batteries, it
could be up one minute and down the next.

I did run the Verify image option in ImnageBurn against the image created

CDBurnerXP, and it checked out.

When someone that has the combination to the safe comes in, I'll pull one

the OS CDs out and see if it comes up with anything for WRKOPTVOL.

Thanks.

The WRKOPTVOL should even be able to report the files on a music CD so
if it can't see the files, I suspect you have a bad burn or the device
is corrupted. Try a cleaning CD before you do too much else. Dust
builds up in the dang things and you can get really fun results if there
is dirt in there. You can use any product, but I have always been
successful with Active ISO Burner from LSoft Technologies.

Nope, when you burn an image to CD, you get the folder/file structure
contained in the image. The structure you gave of example is what I
would expect to see.

Unless you're not burning the CD's with the right settings, it sounds
like you might have a hardware issue with the CD drive on the IBM.

Can you read other disks?

Tried it and ImageBurn. Same result as outlined below. Maybe I'm
remembering wrong (I got so used to using image catalogues the last

few

years, and the little gray cells are coming through the scalp), but I
thought that in the past when I burned an image to a CD, such as
C4300510_1.iso that the result on the CD was the same (i.e.,
c434300510_1.iso) not some off the wall file/folder structure.

Am I just being hard to get along with?
