=head1 NAME
B<copycds> - Copies Linux distributions and service levels from DVDs/ISOs to the xCAT /install directory.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<copycds> [{B<-n|--name|--osver>}=I<distroname>] [{B<-a|--arch>}=I<architecture>] {I<iso>|I<device-path>} ...
B<copycds> [B<-h>|B<--help>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<copycds> command copies all contents of Distribution DVDs/ISOs or Service Pack DVDs/ISOs to a destination directory. The destination directory will be formed from the B<installdir> site attribute and the distro name and architecture, for example: /install/rhels6.3/x86_64. The B<copycds> command can copy from one or more ISO files, or the CD/DVD device path.
You can get xCAT to recognize new DVDs/ISOs by adding them to /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT/data/discinfo.pm and reloading xcatd (service xcatd reload).
