Sam,

The .iso files will need to be extracted and placed in the catalog. zip is used only for some data compression and the .zip files will not work in the image catalog.

I just downloaded V7R1 (1.8 GB).

I expected .ISO or .BIN files, but there 2 .ISO files and 8 .ZIP files,
though the .ZIP files do seem to contain a .ISO file.

Can I create an image catalog using .ZIP files or do I need to unzip
them to .ISO first?

Thanks,

Sam

My intention is to copy to the IFS, have Mimix replicate to the backup
machine and then create image catalogs on both machines.
