Aixers,

Has anyone seen this error. It appears simple but I've cleared out all
files in mkcd/cd_images.

Initializing mkcd log: /var/adm/ras/mkcd.log...
Verifying command parameters...
Creating image.data file...

0512-329 mkcd: User specified CD or DVD file system: /mkcd/cd_images
needs an additional 2469806437 bytes.
Cleaning up...

It means it hasn't got enough space in the VG to create the temporary
filesystems to create the DVD images. There are 3 of these, all /mkcd/?.
By default they go in rootvg but you can specify an alternate location.

They should not exist when mkcd is not running, but if it fails it can
leave them there. Then their existence can make a subsequent mkcd fail
when it otherwise wouldn't. So if they exist and no backup is running,
remove them.
