I wish I could download the installation media for AIX 6.1 TL7 SP4 for example? Also the option of download director means that I need to have this downloaded to my desktop before having it ftp'd to the server. Is there a way, I could download this directly to my NIM/install server instead?

To download ISO images of installation CDs for a given software product, you will need:
An IBM ID. Registering for an IBM ID is quick and easy.
The IBM customer number under which the software was ordered.
One of the following:
IBM machine serial number on which the software is entitled. If you are uncertain of the machine type-model of a server on which AIX is already running in your environment, issue the commands lsconf | head and look for the System Model: and Machine Serial Number: fields. Note: Registering with a serial number provides access only to entitled software download. It will not be possible to order media.
IBM system number (from software packing list)
IBM order number (from software packing list)
Custom SWMA (SoftWare Maintenance Agreement) contract number
If you no longer have the information above, your IBM or Business Partner Power Systems sales representative should be able to provide it to you when given the machine type-model and serial number on which the software is licensed.
Once you have the information above:
Point a browser at the Entitled Software Support (ESS) web site.
Sign in with your IBM ID (see above).
Once logged in, click on the My entitled software link (on the left side of the web page). On the My entitled software web page, note the drop down menu under Brand selection (in the upper right corner of the web page). If

Then, click on the Register IBM customer number link (on the left side of the web page), enter a Power Systems server serial number or your customer number, then click the Submit button. When attempting to register a US customer number ignore the instruction to (include country code) and enter the customer number with no country code.
The first IBM ID to register a given customer number instantly becomes the primary contact for that customer number. If you attempt to register a customer number for which a primary contact has already been assigned, you will be offered the option of sending the primary contact a request to be given access to the customer number. You will not get access until the primary contact responds to that request.
As noted above, if a customer number already has a primary contact then the ESS customer number registration process can take several days.
Once a customer number or server has been registered, click the Software downloads link (on the left side of the web page).
Select a customer number (preceded by a prefix such as 892) which has been registered and click the Missing image arrow.
