Hi Admins,

I want to nfs mount from hpux 11.31 solaris. Configuration done ,but mounting is failing in solaris . Log file show solaris not able to connect source server. I think ports are not open in firewall.

Please guide me which ports should to be opened in firewall level .

And i think i need to modify /etc/default/nfs with port details.

Please suggest

Server : HPUX 11.31

Regards

HP-UX 11.31 allows you to specify a port number for the nfs services by adding a variable to the /etc/default/nfs file. This may be helpful for configuring NFS and you need to know what ports to open to allow traffic through a firewall or other packet filtering device. rpc.mountd , rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are the most common ones you would configure for HP-UX 11.31 NFS V2 or V3.

The following is an example of the syntax for specifying a port for rpc.mountd :

MOUNTD_PORT=15002

After the nfs services are started, you should see the following:

# rpcinfo -p | grep mountd
    100005    1   udp  15002  mountd
    100005    1   tcp  15002  mountd
    100005    2   udp  15002  mountd
    100005    2   tcp  15002  mountd
    100005    3   udp  15002  mountd
    100005    3   tcp  15002  mountd

Notice that by default, and as long as the port numbers have not been assigned in the /etc/default/nfs file, the port numbers will continue to be allocated at random.
