Solaris:
Create loopback device with lofiadm command, then mount as hsfs filesystem.
# lofiadm -a /var/tmp/image.iso
/dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

After use, umount and delete your loopback device
# umount /mnt
# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1

AIX:
Mount ISO image as a cdrfs filesystem.
# loopmount -i image.iso -o “-V cdrfs -o ro” -m  /mnt

After use, umount the filesystem.
# umount /mnt
