NFS permission problem with ignite

Giles H Davidson — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:03:14 GMT

Hi,
I am trying to add a new client to my ignite server, and the add_new_client script fails with permission denied errors from the mount.

The client in this case is 11iv2 with the latest recovery tools, and the ignite server 11iv1.

Manually trying the mount also fails.
On the ignite server, in /etc/exports I have "/var/opt/ignite/clients anon=2", which should make root be treated as UID=2 (bin). I have checked and bin has UID 2 on both client and server, but this still fails.
The permissions on the ignite server of /var/opt/ignite/clients is 755 (bin:bin)

Am I missing something here? It works if I put access= in exports, but surely I shouldnt have to do this for all new clients?

Thanks in advance for any pointers..

Giles

/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2

Try removing -anon=2

I will double check whether I have the "-anon=2" or whether I have "anon=2" as soon as I am back in the office... I wrote this post on getting home - so I cannot check right now but I am fairly certain I have -anon=2 and my original post had omitted the "-" in error...

I'll check and confirm tomorrow.. points to follow once I sort it.

From the man page of exports - http://docs.hp.com/en/B9106-90011/exports.4.html

"An empty access= list allows all machines to mount the specified mount point."

For our servers all clients are listed in the exports file.

Hi,

You could try by mentioning the following in /etc/exports

/var/opt/ignite/clients

Entries for /etc/exports in 11iv1 and11iv2 should look kilike this

/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/archives -anon=2

Apart from that the client specicic option can be added as
/var/opt/ignite/archives -anon=2,access=client1:client2

do an
#exportfs -au
#exportfs -a

Entries for 11iv3 /etc/dfs/dfstab is like this

share -F nfs -o anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/clients
share -F nfs -o anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/archives
share -F nfs -o anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/clients
share -F nfs -o anon=2 /var/opt/ignite/archives

regards
Sujit

As pointed about, I had missed off the "-" from anon=2. After adding that it is all working again :)

Thanks all
