    Hi,

    I have a CD contains the base level of AIX53 with TL3.
    What I want is to copy this to my current NIM server who is already on AIX 53TL6 and have lppsource5306/spot5306 existing.

    I need to create a new lppsource5303/spot03 because some aix servers have to be installed to this level because of their application.

    I am far away fromt the data center and I was wondering if I can make a copy from ftp to my aix server instead of inserting the CD on the drive of my server.

    In that case what I need to copy?

    I have 8 CD, wich one I have to copy to the nim server to build the spot and lppresource ? CD1 and CD2 ?

    I have the following folders and files at the root of the CD1:
    folder 53000-04 (empty folder)
    folder installp (contain folder ppc and mvCD)
    folder ppc (contain folder chrp)
    folder root (contain folder etc)
    folder RPMS (contain folder linux and ppc)
    folder usr (contain folder bin, ccs,lib,lpp,sbin,swlag,sys)
    file bosinst.data
    file image.data
    file OSLEVEL
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Cheers

    I'm not 100% on this, but you should be able to copy these directories:
    installp/ppc
    usr/swlag
    RPMS/ppc

    If you want a complete lppsource to do new installs, I think you have to copy all the CDs.
