Defining an lpp_source on DVD-ROM versus hard disk

You can define an lpp_source on a CD-ROM versus a disk using the SMIT, or the command line.

Normally an lpp_source resource is created by copying installation images from installation media to the hard disk of the lpp_source server. If disk space is limited on the server or if an lpp_source is needed quickly, you can use a directory mounted from DVD-ROM installation media as the lpp_source.
