Question Lost original AIX DVD

At company I joined it seems I cannot trace install DVD (5765-G99 - AIX Enterprise 7.1) but according invoice I found we are entitled for it.
It seems that support for account expired and I cannot download any software/updates except HMC ones Smilie

  • Anybody knows which exact version (TL, service pack) is wrapped under 5765-G99?
  • Is AIX wrapped as 5765-G99 snapshot of available AIX version depending on the time of purchase? (E.g. 5765-G99 delivered in oct 2010 would contain Aix 7.1 TL0 and 5765-G99 delivered in dec 2012 would contain Aix 7.1 TL2)
  • Is it OK if I borrow 5765-G99 DVD from client (if they have it) to create ISO?
  • Is it to ask for "media refresh" only option or since 5765-G99 was withdrawn from support on Sept 30, 2016 I can only buy item 5765-CD3 as an software upgrade (not "media refresh")?
  • According to article AIX 7.2 and October Power software announcements | The secret product manager. IBM changed products since October 2015. Are we entitled to 5765-CD3 since company's account support expired in Feb 2016?

Feedback appreciated!
Thanks.

NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Aix - Return AIX filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem. INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Aix ISA UNIVERSAL METHODS
version () Return the version of the (sub)module. ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object. account Used by the dodisk command to determine the filesystems to be processed by the accounting system. boot Used by the mkfs command to initialize the boot block of a new filesystem. check Used by the fsck command to determine the default filesystems to be checked. dev Identifies, for local mounts, either the block special file where the filesystem resides or the file or directory to be mounted. free This value can be either true or false. (Obsolete and ignored). mount Used by the mount command to determine whether this file system should be mounted by default. nodename Used by the mount command to determine which node contains the remote filesystem. size Used by the mkfs command for reference and to build the file system. type Used to group related mounts. vfs Specifies the type of mount. For example, vfs=nfs specifies the virtual filesystem being mounted is an NFS filesystem. vol Used by the mkfs command when initializing the label on a new filesystem. The value is a volume or pack label using a maximum of 6 characters. log The LVName must be the full path name of the filesystem logging logical volume name to which log data is written as this file system is modified. This is only valid for journaled filesystems. SEE ALSO
