Re: PC-DVD Drive & ADDIMGCLGE

I think my problem is that I have files that are not in a .ISO or .BIN.
They show up fine via wrkoptvol where they might have been created natively
on I, I can drag an drop them to a IFS folder and add them as image catalog
using stmf's but I don't get the same result(s) as I do loading it natviely
and adding it using opt01. I am going to attempt to convert the dvd on the
pc side to an .ISO, paste it then try it.

hi Jack,

I'm a bit unclear on what you're trying to do. /QNTC won't help if you
need the disk in an image catalog (the title mentions ADDIMGCLGE).
Instead, I would suggest this process:

1) Use PC CD software to extract an .ISO image from the CD.
2) FTP the ISO image to your IFS. Make sure you use BINARY mode.
3) Use ADDIMGCLGE to add it to an image catalog.


Paul Musselman suggested sharing the CD on your computer running IBM i
via Windows Networking, and then mapping a drive letter to do that.
That would make sense if you had physical access to the box running IBM
i, but did not have access to a PC with a CD drive. But, I think your
situation is the other way around, right?

I am at a remote location with no access to the optical drive, I think I
want QNTC file system.

I'd say your best bet is to create an image catalog on the target

machine,

and then FTP the iso or bin file into that directory in the IFS. From
there,
you can add the image catalog entry, and mount it to the virtual optical
drive for your install.
