This is more along the lines of AIX server recovery, but it plays into
TSM, too.
Without using addtional software, just AIX, how does one create a boot
CD that contains all the necessary info to restore a server using a
mksysb tape?
 
I understand the process for recovering an AIX server from a mksysb tape
backup to different hardware would be to boot the server from a CD of
the same OS-ML as the mksysb backup.  My TSM server is running on AIX
5200-03.  The install media I have is 5200-01.  How do I create a boot
CD image (ISO, so I can burn the ISO image using a PC CD-W) that
contains the 5200-03 files so I can recover the TSM server?
 
My current working documentation requires an install of 5200-01, patch
to -03, and install TSM and then restore the DB.  That works OK, but
takes additional time, and still won't get back everything I need to
allow some other node restores to start.  I will still have to rebuild
some things from scratch.
 
Thanks in advance.
Todd
