Does anyone know how to mount a drive / partition that is on one unix server on another unix server ??? Thanks

Try this: Exporting filesystem from one box to another (NFS): (or remote mounting a cdrom) Box Exporting From: 1) vi /etc/exports and add filesystem at the bottom of the file. 2) Type the following command to make sure the server recognizes the new filesystem: exportfs –av Box Exporting To: 1) Make directory where you want to export the filesystem from the other box to (don’t make a fileystem in smit). 2) mount –v nfs server:path path So, when mounting the network filesystem /cdrom from bailey so that it’s available on thor you’d do this (while on thor): priv mount -v nfs bailey:/cdrom /cdrom 3) You should now see the mounted filesystem. 4) Add entry to /etc/fstab (for HP) or /etc/filesystems (for AIX) if you want this filesystem to be mounted permanently. If you get a message something like this: mount: 1831-011 access denied for bailey:/cdrom mount: 1831-008 giving up on: bailey:/cdrom The file access permissions do not allow the specified action. then look at the /etc/hosts file for the host machine and make sure the machine you’re trying to export the filesystem to exists in the host’s /etc/hosts file. Actually, both machines’ IP addresses have to be in the other’s /etc/hosts file so they can find each other. I suppose you could use the IP alone and ignore the alias, but to me it's just easier to deal with the alias.

Thanks for the help.
