No DVD special files
Prior to the first time you run make_media_install, you must create DVD special files. If the DVD special files are missing when you run make_media_install, you will receive an error message similar to
:-( unable to open(“/dev/rscsi/c0t0l0”.O_RDONLY): No such file or directory
To add DVD special files:
•Run the command mkdir /dev/rscsi
•Then run the suggested mknod and chmod commands.

The procedure to create
This process is largely documented in the make_medialif(1M) and instl_combine(1M) manpages. The approach is to run make_config against each depot separately, then use make_medialif to form a single config file for the depots, the default file system layout file, and any other config files you wish.
Preparation
1.Copy the installation content to your
You will need a great deal of disk space for this. Estimate 4.7 per DVD, which is the space you have for the depot and the ISO image. Use multiple depots and make sure each depot is small enough to fit on one DVD.
For example, to create two depots on the Ignite server from OE media, use the following commands. Each DVD will have to be mounted before the swcopy and unmounted afterwards.
#swcopy
@<path_to_depot1>
#swcopy
@<path_to_depot2>
2.Create a configuration file for each depot using make_config.
For example, create a configuration file for the first depot with the following command:
#make_config
The no_sd_server option instructs make_config to omit the network attributes for that depot.
