Mounting remote CD_ROM

[Alessia Gigliofiorito]

How can I mount a CD_ROM of a 11.00 server on a 10.20 wks?
If possible, I don't want to mount CD_ROM locally on11.00 and exporting file system.

Hi

there isnt any other way .
you can try to mount the cdrom with the pfs mount option but this is not the prefer way to do this .

to export the cdrom :
On the server, execute the following:

1. cd /etc Verify that /cdrom -ro (read only)
is in the exports file. If not, edit exports and add:

/cdrom -ro -root=[remote_host]

2. Mount the /cdrom directory on the server

3. Run /usr/sbin/exportfs -a
this exports all directories in /etc/exports

4. On the local system run:
mount -F nfs remote_host:/cdrom /cdrom
