So while you answered me, I finally managed to install the OS by making a spot from a mksysb that was already there. So main problem fixed. But I still want to be able to create my own lpp_source and SPOT (for my own knowledge and to document properly)
So I downloaded the base image of AIX from the IBM website and created an lpp_source from it.
Code:
root@oaexpnimp01(/nim/OS_IMAG) # loopmount -i /nim/OS_IMAG/6.1_AIX_Operating_System_DVD_1_of_2_6100-09-04_112014.udf -o "-V cdrfs -o ro" -m /mnt/cdrom
root@oaexpnimp01(/nim/OS_IMAG) # cd /mnt/cdrom/
root@oaexpnimp01(/mnt/cdrom) # ls -l
total 84
