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.
