 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-The B<copycds> command copies all contents of Distribution CDs/DVDs or Service Pack CDs/DVDs to the install directory as
-designated in the B<site> table attribute: B<installdir>.  The B<copycds> command can copy from one or more ISO files,
-or from the CD/DVD device path.  If xCAT doesn't recognize the signature of the CD/DVD (e.g. in the .discinfo
-file), you must specify the -n and -a options.  This is sometimes the case for distros that have very
-recently been released, and the xCAT code hasn't been updated for it yet.
+The B<copycds> command copies all contents of Distribution CDs/DVDs or Service Pack CDs/DVDs to a destination directory. The destination directory is specified by -p option. If no path is specified, the default destination directory will be formed from the B<installdir> site attribute and the distro name and architecture, for example: /install/sles11.2/ppc64. The B<copycds> command can copy from one or more ISO files, or CD/DVD device path. You can specify -i or --inspection option to check whether the CDs/DVDs can be recognized by xCAT. If recognized, the distribution name, architecture and the disc no (the disc sequence number of CDs/DVDs in multi-disk distribution) of the CD/DVD is displayed. If xCAT doesn't recognize the CD/DVD, you must specify the -n and -a options. This is sometimes the case for distros that have very recently been released, and the xCAT code hasn't been updated for it yet.
