To upload a new OS ISO to VIOS Library (and optionally create a new library as required):
# Download relevant ISO using Internet
# Use "WinSCP" with scp (*and not sftp*0 to login into VIOS as padmin or root
# Copy the ISO to /home/padmin (padmin) or /tmp (root).  
#: If copied to /home/padmim, login into putty as padmin.  Use "r o".  Move uploaded ISO to /tmp.
# Login into vHMC
# Go to Power Server
# Go to "Virtual Storage"
# Select Virtual I/O Server Name.  Go to Actions -> "Manage Virtual Storage"
# Go to "Optical Devices Tab".
# If there is no Virtual Optical Media Library then click on "Create Library"
#* We can create as per requirement.  Eg 25-50 GB from rootvg
#* This creates a  /var/vio/VMLibrary mount point in VIOS for ISO files
# Click on Action drop down against existing library and select "Add Media"
# Choose "Add existing file from VIOS filesystem" and give appropriate Media name (Eg Suse12SP4) and path of file from /tmp where we uploaded media (eg /tmp/SLE-12-SP4-Server-DVD-ppc64le-GM-DVD1.iso).
# Click ok.
# Add more ISO, if required.
# Remember to delete ISO from /tmp (eg /tmp/SLE-12-SP4-Server-DVD-ppc64le-GM-DVD1.iso) as anyway a copy is now present in /var/vio/VMLibrary
# Click Close
