Hi kamal, some of the step you need are:

- Go into linux box and edit /etc/hosts and add the hp-ux machine
- In hp-ux edit the file /etc/exports and add the filesystem you want to export
- In linux add the nfs service or restart it.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start (you probably want to do it in the boot, use chkconfig to do it. chkconfig --level 345 nfs on)
- Edit /etc/hosts en the hp-ux box and add the linux box.
- Edit /etc/hosts.equiv in the hp-ux and add the linux.
- Edit /etc/hosts.equiv in the linux and add the hp-ux.
- In hp-ux run exportfs -a to make the export changes active.

I think i'm not forgotten anythig.

good luck
Frank.

Hi Kamal,

try these steps:

- on Linux:

vi /etc/exports
/test
save and exit by :wq!

exportfs -a

- on HP-UX:

mkdir /test
mount :/test /test

Let me know if it works and if it cannot work let me know the error, if I can then I will try to help you.

Bets regards,
Fabio

Hi Kamal,

just now I can see your post.
Then:

- first of all, what kind of Linux is your system?
- on Linux is nfs service launched?
service nfs start
- on HP-UX is the nfs client started?
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
- you use DNS or /etc/hosts?
- on /etc/hosts of both systems anyway insert

on Linux system

on HP-UX system

Let me know.

Best regards,
Fabio

Fabio Ettore — Mon, 07 Feb 2005 07:22:34 GMT

Ok Kamal, I found the solution.
Error stands on the format of /etc/exports.
To solve your problem follow steps below:

- on Linux:

vi /etc/exports
/

(ro)

ro just is an option for read-only, you can insert what you want separated with a comma (,).

service nfs stop
service nfs start
exportfs -a

ignore messages.

- on HP-UX:

mount :/ /

Let me know if it solves your problem.

Best regards,
Fabio

its give me error:server not responding(but nfs on server is started)I found the version of nfs on linux is 3and in hp-ux is 2is that the reson of error or what ?

Re: mount network drive

Fabio Ettore — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 06:55:14 GMT

Hi kamal,

now it is new error and I needed a few time to search something.
I don't think that the different version is a problem.

Try:

on Linux system create or (if already exists) modify

/etc/hosts.allow

portmap : 192.167.16.130/255.255.255.0 : allow

Above just an example. You have to specify IP/subnet mask of the HP-UX system in /etc/hosts.allow.
Then stop/start the service again on both systems.

Hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Fabio
