Re: Recreate install image from installed software

I'm pretty sure you can boot up on the 5.X Install CD then say install
from a mksysb. The mksysb you created from your good Production server
you want to clone from.

You might be able to or you could list the files with the lslpp command;
but this would not do the proper ODM updates. You might actually be
better off downloading the latest version from:



ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintena
nce/tivoli-data-protection/



Rather than trying to reverse engineer the process...

Subject: Recreate install image from installed software

Admins,



This may seem a bit odd, but is there a way to recreate an install image
from already installed software? I have
tivoli.tsm.client.oracle.aix51.64bit installed on 2 systems, and the
DBA's want it on a 3rd and I can't find the installation media anywhere.
I thought maybe I could recreate the package and send it to the 3rd
system for install.



Regards,

Darryl
