on your local system, mount your dcrom drive. you can do this like how user "mercy" stated... "mount /dev/cd0 /cdrom"

i'm assuming your cdrom on your AIX system is cd0.... and chances are it is.

after mounting the cdrom on your local system, make sure you export that directory. you can do this by "exportfs -i /cdrom". also, make sure your NFS services are available and running. you can check this by doing "lssrc -g nfs".

on the REMOTE system, mount the cdrom from your local system. it would likely be something like "mount localhostname:/cdrom /mnt" where "localhostname" is your local machine's host name and /mnt is some arbitrary mount point.

once mounted, you should be able to do your installs.

mounting

mounting(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual					       mounting(7)

NAME

       mounting - event signalling that a filesystem is mounting

SYNOPSIS

       mounting DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  mounting  event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon when it is about to mount a filesystem.  mountall(8) will wait for all services
       started by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by  this  event  to  be  stopped
       before proceeding with mounting the filesystem.

       The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.

EXAMPLE

       A tool that should be run before mounting the /var filesystem might use:

	      start on mounting MOUNTPOINT=/var
	      task
