Your AIX guy can't figure this out, Ted?  Geez...
An HSM file system is used via NFS the same way as any other file system.
I have to wonder if NFS is running on the system where HSM and NFS are
supposed to be.  Your guy should know to run 'rpcinfo -p <hostname>' to
see if NFS is registered in Portmap, expecting to get back lines like:
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    2   tcp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
And then do 'rpcinfo -u <hostname> nfs' to reflect off the NULLPROC of
that RPC service which is called nfs, to test that it is responding.
If no answer, then nfsd either didn't get started, or died.  It should
be accompanied by a suite of other pseudo-state daemons, which your AIX
guy should be familiar with.  If you do 'df -k' on the HSM file system,
you see two mounts, right?...the JFS and FSM.  And all the HSM dsm*
commands show happiness?

Using HSM over NFS requires a lot of TLC, else you can end up with some
very ugly situations where all your NFS client systems can hang as HSM
spends up to an hour or so reconciling a full FSM file system seeking to
make space.  See my various postings in the Archives.

  Good luck!   Richard Sims,  http://people.bu.edu/rbs
