Not a very detailed description of these
systems, their disks, or how anything is
connected to anything else.

After you do what? Boot something? Was the
(remote?) system disk ever mounted on the
system where you're trying this? In general,
disks don't mount themselves. If you want
one system to mount the system disk of
another system, then I'd expect to need to do
an appropriate MOUNT command somewhere.

Can't see it.

At cluster config time it is asked if the system disk should be served. If no, then bit 2 in systemm parameter MSCP_SERVE_ALL is 0.
If the disk is local, and the "serve all locally attached disks" (bit 1) is set, then it is served even if bit 2 is not set.

See: sysman help sys_parameter MSCP_SERVE_ALL for details.

If the disk is served but not mounted, then it appears "remote mount" to all other systems until mounted.
And be aware, a remote system disk can't be mounted private on a remote system, only /SYSTEM or /CLUSTER.
