Note About Multiple Volume CD–ROMs
AIX 4.3 has added the “multiple volume CD–ROMs” function. If you ask to install a fileset or
a bundle of filesets, you may be prompted to insert another CD–ROM volume to complete
the installation. If you do not wish to be prompted, or do not have the other volumes
available, set the Process multiple volumes? field in SMIT to no (it is set to yes by
default). If using the command line to call installp, specify the –S flag to not process multiple
volumes. If the CD volume is already mounted as a filesystem at the time of the installation,
multiple volume processing is disabled.
Note: You will not be asked to switch CD–ROMs during a Base (BOS) Installation of AIX.
Multiple volume CD–ROMs are only enabled after the operating system has
rebooted.
