Hi
c u can place ur software cd on control workstation and export that cdrfs and nfs mount it over any server u want ...in ur case nfs mount it on nodes. and u can work as if u hav monted it localy.
cammands to do achive this is.
1. mount the cdrom locally
mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom
2. export the cdrom fs from local m/c.
exportfs -i -o ro,root=<nodename> /cdrom
3. to check the fs exported
exportfs -v
there should be an entry for same fs
4.now nfs mount the fs on node
mount -n <CWSname> /cdrom /cdrom
5. to check mounted fs
mount or df

Well I always make a directory on the CWS called fixes in my spdata or sputil directory and then do a smit bffcreate to move the stuff to the directory.....

That way the fixes are there for all nodes....
then I export that directory and nfs mount that directory to each of the nodes and allow it to do the smit update_all........

But if you are short on room, you can do as the previous post said.
