CD/DVD BOOT IMAGE

Image of an AIX server was created (1.5GB) using a symantec Veritas software.The image is meant to be burned on a CD and will be used to recover the server in the event of a crash. The server does not have a local DVD drive and it does not recognize an external DVD drive.

The image could not fit on a CD because maximum size of a CD is 700MB,hence network boot (bootp) was tried and later dropped because it involves changing too many production server IP addresses.

Pls advise on other options that can be used to resolve this problem.
