Try the below and let me know if it works

ftp the S/W in the server

#mkdir /cdrom/cdrom0

#lofiadm -a /opt/temp/software // this will give the path

/dev/lofi/1 // path given by system

#mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /cdrom/cdrom0

Otherwise it could be that the iso file you downloaded is not complete
