You can't seriously expect us to type in here a lenghty procedure you can read in any README file anyway.

I suggest you get a good book (for instance: a Redbook) about AIX and read that first. An internet forum is no replacement for lacking knowledge.

This is something I wrote up a long time ago
HOWTO: Install AIX

Was written using AIX 7.1 as an example, but the install process is the same. This assumes you have a partition setup already, or are installing on a standalone system.

Just remember that for AIX 6.1 and higher you must have a Power4 system, or newer.

Do you need to create the install DVD or...?

Just like any other computer, do you need to know how to stick the disk in and turn it on?

Code:
 "I needed step by step create mounting DVD before installation?"

Your question is still not clear.

You do not tell us if it is a standalone LPAR or system, or VIO / IVM backed or HMC / IVM / SDMC controlled.

You cannot "mount" a DVD on an LPAR or standalone system, unless you mean "sticking it in the DVD drive of a system that has not yet booted"

Please let us know exactly which step you are stuck at.

Do you even have a DVD drive and / or an AIX system?

..."Oh, I have a USB DVD drive on my laptop, how do I download and burn an AIX image on to the DVD and install it on to my PC or MAC?...

Please be very specific and explain exactly what you have, what you are trying to do and where you got stuck!

Cheers mate.
