The method you describe isn't supported. I verified this with Oracle support once.
Assuming server B isn't running production dunno why you just can't install from CD.
The files located in /etc and /usr/local/bin are of course described in the AIX documentation. Why are you asking the obvious?. Seems like you don't know what you are doing or don't have any Oracle experience.
