i suggest as an exercise for maximum learning effect you
1. find the aix documentation about nfs and read it
2. come back if after reading it anything is still unclear

The point is, you've never needed the NFS daemons running in order to mount NFS filesystems from another node. You only need the daemons running if you're exporting NFS filesystems.

The first response was an attempt to get you to go and do some reading up on how it works before you ask questions. i.e. help yourself before seeking help.
