Hi Guy's,

How can i mount a disk from an onther machine.
Let's assume i want to mount disk /dev/dsk/c1t1d1 from machine "host_1"
Neme of my curent machine is "host_2".

Is this possible ?

Idea is to put the backup from de host_2 on the disk of the "host_1"

thank you in advance

You cannot mount the disk directly. You need to have a filesystem on the disk and available for mouting via NFS by host_2.

1) Create a volume group using the disk c1t1d1 on host_1

Create a LV and filesystem

2) Start the NFS server daemons on host_1. Export the filesystem that you just created.

3) Start the NFS client daemons on host_2 and mount the filesystem from host_1

4) Backup host_1 to the NFS filesystem.

Oops, I meant backup host_2 to the NFS filesystem.
