CiscoWorks on NetView for AIX
CD-ROM Installation Instructions

Before mounting from a CD-ROM drive, place the CiscoWorks^TM CD-ROM into its caddy and insert it into the CD-ROM drive. The following instructions describe mounting it from either a local or a remote machine using System Management Interface Tool (SMIT), an IBM system management tool.

For more information about the installation procedure, refer to the specific instructions described in the CiscoWorks Administration and Installation Guide on NetView for AIX. Perform all tasks as superuser.

Mounting from a Remote CD-ROM

To mount the CD-ROM from a remote CD-ROM drive, perform the following steps on the remote machine:

1. Perform all steps in the previous section, "Mounting from a Local CD-ROM."
