found it.. Grin

command is always mkcd, but solution is to run "smit mkdvd", select ISO.
select the necesary options, F6 should show
/usr/sbin/mkcd -L '-e' -I '/systembackup' -V 'rootvg' '-R' '-S'
(-L tells mkcd its a DVD)
this will create and save the DVD ISO image under /systembackup without burning.
I moved the image to a PC with Nero burnin ROM, renamed it to .iso before I burned it. Then i tested to boot from it and complete restore, works just fine.

---- end ----

how can I burn a mksysb DVD from these 3 files? Huh

/images/cd_image_18500.vol3
/images/cd_image_18500.vol2
/images/cd_image_18500.vol1

The system does not have a DVD writer so I need to move the mksysb image to another system.
ls -l
