How to Mount a Remote Linux System Drive to a HP-UX system

Eric Scherer — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 15:26:53 GMT

Can anyone assist me in finding the correct command and syntax to mount an external Linux system drive onto a HP-UX system? Thank you.

Eric,

You can mount using NFS, export the linux drive/filesystem and mount the drive/filesystem on hpux.

Example:

1. Mount the drive in a filesystem on Linux.
# mount /dev/cxtxdx /drive1
2. Export the /drive1 on Linux System.

3. Create a mount directory on hp-ux system:
# mkdir /drive1
4. On hp-ux system:
# mount -F nfs linux:/drive1 /drive1

Cheers,
Raj.

Eric,

When you export the drive or filesystem on linux , you need to check in /etc/exports file,

Shalom,

Same as any other drive.

You can make a samba share in linux and mount with cifsclient on HP-UX or use NFS.

Just configure the Linux mountpoint in /etc/exports or smb.conf and restart the appropriate service.

if your talking about mounting a linux disk directly on an hpux system, that cannot be done.

hi Eric,

you can also enter the following line in your fstab:

:/d01 /mnt/linuxserver nfs rw,suid 0 0

where is the IP address or alternatively the hostname of your linux server - assuming it is already in the /etc/hosts.

/d01 is the file system that you are trying to mount

/mnt/linuxserver is the mount point which should be a valid directory existing before the mount command.

to mount the remote file system you can then just run the following command:
mount /mnt/linuxserver

hope this helps!

kind regards
