Quick Tip: Creating ISO’s

by @ 7:34 am. Filed under Open Source, Linux, Quick Tips

I’ve run into a lot of customers who are concerned with how to convert CD’s to ISO files and copy them over to an ESX server. Therefore I thought I’d share a little tip that makes this process extremely simple:
1. Place the CD you want to create an ISO from into the CDROM of an ESX server.

2. Log in to that ESX server’s Service Console as ‘root’.

3. Type in the following command:

cat /dev/cdrom >”filename.iso”

That’s it!
