NFS Mount Install Using Remote Tape Media


Environment

OS Level: AIX Version 4.1.4
Type/Model: 320

Problem

An 8mm tape drive on a system 560 needs to be used to install software on a remote system 320.

  1. Create a separate user filesystem:

  2. To mount the user created filesystem:

  3. Copy the installation product to hard disk for installation:

  4. To add the filesystem for NFS exporting:

On the Clients
