Additional Info:
That works fine for AIX Flash-Images downloaded from IBM ESS portal, but for example when using a VIO install Flash-Image from ESS and trying to acces usr/sys/inst.images/mksysb_image there is an failure like "A system call received an unkown signal".
In that case you have to do the loopmount command using the option "-V udfs" instead of "-V cdrfs"!

Hello Dharma,
you can loopmount an udf file same way like iso files:
loopmount -i AIX_V7.2_Base_Install_7200-00-00_DVD_2_of_2_122015.udf -m /mnt -o "-V cdrfs -o ro"
Within my environment (AIX 7.2TL05SP01) this works perfect.
Greetings
Peter

Subject: loopmount AIX base filesets image with extension .udf
I need the AIX 7,1,4,0 base for an upgrade, however the downloaded version is NOT .iso but .udf.
Is there anyone know how to loopmount this please:
Here are the downloaded files:
AIX_7.1_Base_Install_7100-04-00_DVD_1_of_2_122015.udf
AIX_V7.1_Base_Install_7100-04-00_DVD_2_of_2_122015.udf
Some documents out there mentioned this command which does not make sense:
loop mount -i UDF_FILE.iso -l loop0 -o "-V udfs -o ro" -m /image
I need something to loopmount this guy:
AIX_7.1_Base_Install_7100-04-00_DVD_1_of_2_122015.ud
Appreciate your help
