SCSSYSTEMID (G) Specifies a number that identifies the computer. This parameter is not dynamic. SCSSYSTEMID is the low-order 32 bits of the 48-bit system identification number. If the computer is in an OpenVMS Cluster, specify a value that is unique within the cluster. Do not use zero as the value. If the computer is running DECnet for OpenVMS, calculate the value from the DECnet address using the following formula: SCSSYSTEMID = ((DECnet area number) \* 1024) + (DECnet node number) ...

There is a known problem with mounting ISO images on the AIX platform. To workaround the problem, complete the following instructions: Obtain the size of the image, then identify the nearest multiple of 128 MB that will provide enough space for the image.
