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.

NAME

       dares - rescue files from damaged CDs and DVDs

SYNOPSIS

       dares -i image -s path [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]
       dares-qt [-i image] [-s path] [-h2i h2i_file] [-a] [-m] [-llogfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Dares  scans  a	CD/DVD image or a CD/DVD and tries to find files. It does not depend on filesystem information, but instead uses the Magic
       library to identify files. Doing it this way Dares can recover files even when the filesystem (ISO-9660 or UDF) on the disc is damaged  and
       cannot be mounted anymore.

       Dares can use H2cdimage (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2cdimage.zip) files to rescue data from heavily damaged optical discs.

OPTIONS

       -i     CD/DVD image file or device.

       -s     Directory where the rescued  files shall be stored.

       -h2i   Optional h2i file for the CD/DVD image.

       -a     Store all found files without any user interaction.

       -m     Use Mime types instead of a description.	-l Logfile (default: dares.log)
