I have AIX 6.1 installation files in 7 iso files. Instead of burning it into CDs, I would like to convert it into an image bff file, so that I could use it to create NIM lppsource and SPOT resources from it. So that I don't have to burn the iso file into CD and swap in out CDs to create NIM resources.
I have tried to use dd command, as I found from internet,but still not succesful.
Could anyone let me know how to do it?. Thanks a lot for your help.

as usual there is more than one way to do it. I'd expect you to get on track shmootly after looking at these:
man loopmount
smit bffcreate

Yes, it did mentioned in the article that found below:

BUT when I check the 'loopmount' command, I can't find it in my O/S.
Is this command part of base AIX O/S??.
FYI my OS Level is AIX 6.1ML03.
