Starting with AIX 6.1 TL 4, AIX offers a new command to directly mount an ISO file. The loopmount command will mount any ISO image directly into the filesystem without the need to copy it into a raw LV as before.
The command requires a new fileset, devices.loopback.rte 6.1.4.0. When the fileset is installed, the loopmount command is able to perform the mount of any ISO file residing in your filesystem:
Example:
# loopmount -i POWERHA_Std_Edition_6_1.ISO -o "-o ro -V cdrfs" -m /mnt |
