[Yazen Alaa]

Hi

I have MCS server 7816I5 , i have iso image for 8.6.2.22900 , i want to boot ISO on  the MCS server by USB/external hard disk becasue the image size is exceeded 4.48 and the DVD size is 4.35 so i cant copy the image on DVD

so there is way to solve this issue , or workaround ?

Note : i got this iso image from cisco , it is authorized and it is recommended

Hi,

I think the exact server model is MCS 7816-I5-K9-CMD2.

You can open a TAC case with Cisco .Cisco will open SR with IBM and take help from IBM so as to avoid any violation of warranty issues.

regds,

Have you tried copying the ISO image to a dual layer DVD? Dual layer DVDs can be up to 8.5GB. The DVD drive on the 7815 should be able to read this with no problem.
