By the way I am working with the same HP-UX box. I need to mount the mounted cdrom from host1 to host2

You can expport the cdrom from one server and mount through nfs on other server.

On the server having CDROM
1. If CDROM is mounted on say /cdrom/cdrom0 then make an entry as below in /etc/exports file
/cdrom/cdrom0 -ro
2. Then use the command exportfs -a to export the cdrom

On server where you want to use CDROM

mount -F nfs -o ro server1:/cdrom/cdrom0 /mnt

Setup Host A to be an NFS server. Next mount the cdrom as you normally do on Server A then add the /cdrom mountpoint to your /etc/exports files and do an exportfs -a. You then NFS mount the exported directory on Host B.
