remote file system mounting

D Kearns — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:33:48 GMT

I have 2 HP-UX servers, I am trying to in SAM add a remote file system from one to the other. One alrady has a remtoe file system mount to another HP-UX server on our network. When I go to add this other server as a remote file system I get this error, but I don't see anything in SAM on the destination server that references it. Below is the error

Connectivity is NOT configured for the Remote-Server Name:
"apollo.transx.ca." Use the "Internet Connectivity" area to add
connectivity to "apollo.transx.ca." Continue entering the rest of the
information on the screen if you are sure this is what you want to
do. See the online help for more information.

Can anyone point me in he right direction?

Thank you.

Anti-SAM instructions:

On Server A
vi /etc/hosts to include hostname and IP for server B.
"10.10.1.10 serverB"

vi /etc/exports to include filesystem name and access for server B.
"/path anon=-2,access=serverB"

execute exportfs -av

On Server B:
edit /etc/fstab for Server A filesystem.
"serverA:/path /path nfs bg,soft 0 2"

Use NFS and export the directory or filesystem you want. Add the entry for the file system or directory in /etc/exports and give the permissions as root / read-write / read-only. Then do exportfs -a command.

Add the entry of this FS in your /etc/fstab of other node and mount it.

Kearns,
First of all i want to know that from where you are mouning the file system, because Network file system will never export from remote server.

Thank you for your replies.

Both servers are in the same Data Center, one is an HP9000 running HP-UX 11i, the other is an HP BL60p blade server running HP-UX 11.23. The originating server is the HP9000 it has entries to very old servers that were at one time had remote file systems accessible by this server. The one currently on the HP9000 is to another BL60p blade server. This remote file system mount was done through SAM, but as with my first post I get an error that tells me to turn something on, on the destination server.

I hope this gives a little more information.

The current mount I have from the HP9000 goes through the /net directory, I hope this helps as well.

Thank you.

I was able to get the mount to work, thank you to the user Tim Nelson. It works now.
