Have a 7044-170 running AIX 5300-07-02-0806 with an external 7210-025 IBM
RAM-DVD drive
Using smit to mksysb three days ago it completed a dvd backup okay.
Since that mksysb, have installed only Firefox and a network printer.

Now today using smit mksysb get the following
0301-152 bosboot: not enough file space to create:
/mkcd/cd_fs/25052/ppc/chrp/bootfile.exe
/mkcd/cd_fs has 12748 free KB.
/mkcd/cd_fs/25052/ppc/chrp/bootfile.exe needs
14261 KB.
0512-300 mkcd: Error in routine: build_boot_images.

Using mksysb today under WSM, the dvd backup completes okay.

Found this http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...id=isg1IY73635 saying
to run a fix to correct this error.
The fix refers to 5300-03 ML whereas this machine is at 5300-07 ML.
This is just a recent install of AIX 5.3 with 5300-07 ML installed in one
go.

Advice on how to correct this error in smit mksysb would be appreciated.

Thanks
Basil

df: 0506-003 Cannot find or open file system /mkcd/cd_fs
Is this not one of the three files created then cleaned up or deleted at the
end of the operation ?
Here is the last and only log which must be for the successful WSM
operation.
