In this case i suggest to try to talk to a sales representative. They usually have some leeway to keep customers happy so (i am not sure what the exact legal situation is in your case) they might be able help you with a new DVD.

In general i suggest to copy every DVD with OS- or related software to your NIM server as soon as you get hold of it. Media can be lost, broken, unreadable or whatever. As soon as you have it on your software repository you can create normal backups and make sure you survive any disaster.

In general AIX packages come in two forms: installable and update. All the base level sets are installable and you need to install one of these once. Any updates can then be applied whenever it becomes available. Basically you can download update packages to 7.1 TL1, TL2, ... freely but you need the installable packages from 7.1 TL0 to install them.

I hope this helps.

osinfo-detect

OSINFO-DETECT.C(1)					      Virtualization Support						OSINFO-DETECT.C(1)

NAME

       osinfo-detect - Detect the operating system on installable media or trees

SYNOPSIS

       osinfo-detect [OPTIONS...] PATH|URI

DESCRIPTION

       Examine the "PATH" or "URI" to determine what (if any) operating system it is for, and whether it is installable or is a Live image.  By
       default "PATH" or "URI" will be interpreted as pointing to ISO media. To request examination of an install tree instead, the option
       "--type=tree" should be given.

       The output information is formatted for humans; to obtain machine readable output, the option "--format=env" should be given to produce
       shell-like key/value pairs.

OPTIONS

       --format=plain|env
	       Switch between human readable output (plain, the default) or machine readable output (env).

       --type=media|tree
	       Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the default) or install trees (tree)

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status will be 0 if an operating system was detected, or 1 if none was found.
