 Issue with HMC backup
HMC V6.1, AS/400 administration
Hi

This is my first trail ......I followed the following process to take backup for the HMC...

From HMC

Software Maintainance ---> HMC---->Backup critical console data---->backup to DVD on local system.

Here I am getting problem with media and giving error like not a compatable disk. Also asking for a farmat the DISK.

For this activity I used normal DVD(4.5 GB). Is it required any particular compatabale disks or any IBM supplied Please suggest.

Thank you,
Krish

If your HMC is like mine, you need to use DVD-RAM not regular DVD. Check the specifications.
